Rocks ahead ~ we'll all be dead!

One of my all time favorite movies is the Princess Bride. So many memorable lines to quote.

The exact quote has Inigo Montoya asking, 'Fezzic, are there rocks ahead?'  To which Fezzic replies with characteristic rhyme, 'If there are we'll all be dead.'

André René Roussimoff aka Andre the Giant played Fessic in the Princess Bride. He died of heart failure in 1993 after attending his father's funeral.

It's a fact of life: there are 'rocks' ahead and we will all die sooner or later. But if you put your trust in the Rock you will be saved and death will not over come you.

For the scripture says, "I chose a valuable stone, which I am placing as the cornerstone in Zion; and whoever believes in Him will never be disappointed."
This stone is of great value for you that believe; but for those who do not believe: "The stone which the builders rejected as worthless turned out to be the most important of all."

1 Peter 2:6-7

Jesus is the Rock.
