Have you seen the light?

James Brown, from The Blues Brothers

On a Mission From God

In the 1980 comedy The Blues Brothers, Jake and Elwood Blues (John Belushi and Dan Akroyd) have to find a way to pay the taxes on the orphanage they grew up in or the children there will lose their home.

In trying to figure out how to do it, their mentor and father figure Curtis (Cab Calloway) tells them to get some churchin’ up.

Having vision is not something that happened to you in the past. The gravity of a powerful vision is the result of spending time in that field. It is there. You need to encounter it.
