On Friday, my roommates and I watched Gone with the Wind. I loved the books, but I'd never seen the movie, which is sad because it's a classic. The acting was amazing, and I really liked it. I highly recommend the book and the movie.

And this also applied to my Sunday school lesson! We talked about how trials can make you better. In Gone with the Wind, the only time that Scarlett is really likeable is when she's going through trials trying to stay alive and keep Tara going. When she has resources she's bratty, selfish, and awful. But when everybody's lives rely on her, she works hard and stubbornly keeps them alive. It makes me wonder if we're all better under pressure, or whether it's just the stubborn ones of us...
