Nicole and I finally got around to seeing Juno tonight and we both really loved it. I have heard from several people that every youth minister should see this movie and I have to agree. The whole movie could be used as a discussion starter. The characters, dialog, and acting were all great. The best line of the movie is from Juno's step-mom:
"Someone’s going to get a special blessing from Jesus in this garbage dump of a situation”?
If I were faced with a pregnancy in my ministry tomorrow, I hope I would summon the same grace, while clearly shocked and unhappy, deal with the reality of a pregnant teenager in a pragmatic, supportive and loving manner.
The tag-line describes the movie perfectly: "A comedy about growing up ... and the bumps along the way."
