bulletIn the first Star Wars film (actually Episode IV) Luke learns to use "the force" by dueling with a satellite droid. As Obe-wan encourages Luke to "feel the force," Hans Solo comments that he doesn't believe in hokey religions and superstitions (paraphrased).Moreover, he suggests that he can utilize his own wits to take care of himself. I used it to suggest that many of us in the church live our lives as if we feel the same way. (submitted by Larry Trotter, Lenoir City TN)
