“7 Up” – not the drink

Sunday morning I watched my favorite morning show- CBS Sunday Morning.  One of the stories that I saw was very interesting.

The story told of a young director who chose a group of 14 seven year olds.  He filmed them while asking them about their lives.  Seven year later he did it again.  Seven years later he did it again.  The documentaries go all the way until 56- the latest installment.

It was amazing to see how the lives of some of the people rolled out in front of you.  Some that had so much passion but later ran into big difficulties.  The 14 participant discussed some very painful things that happened to them during the last seven years.   

I could not take my eyes off the TV.  The segment made me think how difficult it is to participate at a close look inside one’s life.  What if you knew that in seven years someone will show up at your door and drill you about the last seven years? 

On the other hand it forces them to examine their lives.  Yes it is in front of everyone BUT at least they know they will account fro the good and the bad. 

Today’s question is:

“What would you share about your last seven years?”
