The Lone Ranger – Finding God in our every day lives through summers blockbuster movies.

In our series, At the Movies, we are looking at some of this summer’s blockbusters to see if we can find God in our everyday life. This week we will look at this summers blockbuster – “The Lone Ranger”.

So many superheroes wear masks or costumes to protect their true identity…Some are elaborate and some are pretty simple.. I mean batman has a full body suit complete with fake abs. Others wear suits and capes. Some are very simple… I think my favorite is superman… who is the most visible and famous superhero who only needs a little hair gel and a pair of black glasses to hide his identity… Either way these heroes wear masks….

The lone ranger is no different.. He wore a mask to protect his identity..

Now lets’s talk about masks for just a moment. Masks are a funny thing and they come in all shapes and sizes. There are masks for parties, masks, holidays, and masks for pretending.

But what about the masks we wear that you can’ t buy at the store, the masks we wear to prevent others from seeing the REAL us. They help us hide our feelings and personalities from every one.

What’s crazy is we wear these masks with each other and we even try to wear them around GOD.

One of the big problems with trying to hide our identity,is that we begin to take on the characteristics of the mask. In the mean time, we are losing the real us. The person that was fearfully and wonderfully made by our creator.
