We do not live far from the Robertsons as a matter of fact as the "duck" flies we live about 5 miles across the river from Phil and Kay. We have known the true story for a very long time about how Phil left Tech because he would rather be on the river fishing or hunting than be on the football field. If not for him taking leaver would we have ever heard of Terry Bradshaw?
But the rest of the story came in bits and pieces and this move gave us such a good look at the lives of people we and much of the world have learned to love and respect, both locally and as their lives were put on display on Duck Dynasty. There would not have been a Duck Commander or Duck Dynasty and the Robertson family would not have become the icons if not for Phil coming to the end of himself and allowing God to enter his life. The Blind gives us a picture of how all of that happened and was so very well acted out. From young Phil, Kay, Si and the rest of the beginnings of their family to the boys that were portrayed at the end it was all so beautifully acted out. I am thankful for them allowing the world to know their story, but most of all for using the story of forgiveness and salvation on the big screen. They are as one of the podcast that the family has says, "Unashamed" of their lives as Christians. Oh and in case you don't know, baby Willie is portrayed by Willie's real life grand son John Shepherd.
