Earlier that evening, we were all discussing the sorts of music, movies, and entertainment single Christians should avoid. I thought it was a very interesting and timely topic, since there were many of the “Single, Saved, and Satisfied” EEW ladies talking about this very subject in the comment section a few weeks back.
During our class, I explained that while I enjoy movies very much, I don’t watch everything. Then the facilitator asked me to name one film in particular that I personally avoid.
“Love Jones” I blurted with no hesitation.
Almost everybody in the room started laughing. A few people high-fived their neighbor indicating they could totally relate.
Remember that 1997 film featuring Nia Long as the photographer, Nina Mosley, and Larenz Tate as the poet/writer, Darius Lovehall? It’s considered a classic and it’s one of the flicks I used to watch all the time with an ex-boyfriend.
