This is the second year I have shown Cameron Duncan's story to my Bible classes. It is a hard movie for me to watch, even though I've seen it about 15 times now. It touches me to see someone so incredibly brave and courageous in the face of certain death. It reminds me that these young students I teach can change lives...can do great things. It also shows me that I can be the change.
This is also the second year I have had students in my classes who have recently lost or are currently losing parents to cancer. Not only was Cameron strong and courageous, but these students are incredible examples of strength and hope. God has really moved and changed my heart through the students I share in this pain with.
I pray that I would take every day God has given me and use it to glorify Him through the gifts I a have been given. I do not know if Cameron had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I hope so! But I do know that I do have a relationship...He loved me enough to die on my behalf so that I might live. I pray that I would live my life as a response to His grace.

Wow, this is the most comments I've seen in one place.
The short video was pretty cool but I am confused about 1 part:
was the song "Into the West" written for him, for the movie or a little of both?
Such a great point. God does love us very much. We should be very thankful for Him and what He has given us.
