A movie is being made about Bart's life. He went to high school in my hometown and got his start in singing when he randomly chose choir as his elective in place of football...he broke both ankles in one play. Really cool. Thought I'd share for his fans.

He's just such a great guy and his family has seen its share of tragedies. A great story that should be told. Told his choir teacher, "I will never, ever, perform publicly on my own." She's urged him to try out for the musical, "Oklahoma". He ended up getting the lead.

Then in college, their theater arts dept was also doing Oklahoma. He went to the try outs just out of curiosity and ended up heckling the guys trying out bc they did the role no justice. The director finally turned around and said, "why aren't you trying out then?" He got the role there too.

Also, my sister and her husband went to his concert last Thursday in Houston. She played the female lead in Oklahoma with him so they are good friends. He told them that Dennis Quaid is playing his dad and Cloris Leachman is playing his grandmother.

I went to school with a guy who used to work for a guy whose housekeeper's nephew is friends with a guy who went to church with a girl who is from the same town of a guy that once waited on Mercy me at a restaurant. So this his close to home and really makes you think. ...

Your church had a son? You would think something like this would get more press. Especially this time of year.

Oh you've got jokes?!

Yall need to find Jesus. And I have personally talked to Bart on several occasions, so there are no 6 degrees of Bart Millard.

Oh yeah? I went to high school with Jerry Rocha. Sat next to each other in Spanish class, and practiced Mexican accents. Aregla los jawas.

Did anyone go see it? Came out today. I thought it was nicely done. Not overly churchy.

Saw it. okay. I get the good story part. Characters a little stiff. Dialogue too mature for the kid scenes to be believable.
