Horton: “We must become invisible, travel silently, for there are forces that would seek to destroy us.”

Thoughts: In one of the scenes in the movie, Horton decides to pretend that he’s a ninja. He says, “We must become invisible, travel silently, for there are forces that would seek to destroy us.” Now, he’s a 400 pound elephant in a cartoon so it sounds funny. However, that’s how a lot of Christians live their lives! Not so funny anymore, eh? A lot of Christians only leave their houses to go to school, work, and Church. The moment Church is over, they run back home and don’t leave again until they have to, because “the big, bad, world” will get them! That’s not at ALL how God intended us to live our lives. We are to go out, and make an impact in our world. We are to go out, and reach people with LOVE for Christ. However, it’s hard to reach and love people who don’t know Christ, when all we do is hang out with Christians!

Take a chance. Follow His example all throughout the Bible. Break out of the “holy huddle” that so often we put ourselves in, and get out there! Love the people that God so loved. Just look at it this way, that person that you’re refusing to go out and show some love to, is a person that Jesus died for. Were you worth more than that other person? Of course not! Go out… make a difference.

Country Cuban

Ileana Ortiz (a.k.a. Country Cuban) is the Director of Online Communities at Flamingo Road Church, an intern at 8BIT, and a freshman at the University of West Florida. She is a Jesus lover, people lover, and a world changer. Her family has seriously impacted the way she lives her life. She gets her sense of humor and passion for helping others, from her mom. She gets her business sense and realistic expectations from her dad. She wishes she could match the game of her little sister, because her little sister has had more boyfriends in her 7 year life span, than Ileana has ever met, in her 18 years of living. She loves to think of herself as a comedian, and hopes that people are laughing with her, not at her. She is constantly being mistaken for celebrities such as Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Penelope Cruz, Jessica Alba, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, and Angelina Jolie. She also happens to enjoy reading, writing, some good country music, all things tech, and when autumn rolls around.... a frothy Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks! I guess you could just say that she is your average 18 year old.. well.. not really.
