"Re: Harvey Troyer
post on Secretariat"
For the past several months my wife and I have
been repeatedly watching scene of the Benmont Stakes race in the
movie Secretariat, just as Harvey describes.
Whenever we need our mood lifted or the atmosphere in the
house brightened, we put on this uplifting scene. When Diane
Lane reads the scripture passage from Job, and then the song "O
Happy Day" plays, I am just lifted up.
I especially am moved and called by the admonition in the song
to "watch, fight, and pray".
It's not far to the finish line and we just need to hang on, and
"watch, fight and pray."
