It's easy to see why Sandra Bullock won an Oscar for Best Actress this year for her performance in the movie, The Blind Side. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend you march yourself down to the local video store and rent it. I guarantee it'll be the best two hours you've spent in front of a TV in a long time.
The movie, which mirrors the real-life drama of NFL star Michael Oher, is inspiring to say the least. While Oher has "made it" in the NFL, he started out in a pretty rough situation in life. If you haven't seen the movie, I won't spoil it for you here by giving too much away. More inspiring than this young man's rough start in life was the part of the story where his path crossed that of Leigh Ann Tuohy, played by Bullock in the movie. Tuohy stepped so far outside what most of us would consider our comfort zones to help this young man that it left me in tears. It also left me wondering if I would have had the faith and trust to do what she did. What a wonderful testament this movie is to the Christian principal of loving one another as Christ loved us.
