The Love Dare...

With our area being so "small town" the only movies we get are the mainstream type. You know the big star, big hit movies that have the big bucks for promotion. Will's parents had wanted us to go and see the movie "Fireproof", but it didn't come to a theatre within 200 miles. It finally came out on video, so I rented it right away. We watched that yesterday afternoon instead of all the football stuff (Will still watched part of the game later, but the Packers were not playing so...).

Let me tell you this....I feel that every person over the age of 12 should see this movie. Especially anyone married or planning on being married in their lifetime. The acting might not be the best in some parts, but I'm telling you the story is dead on. It deals with marraige in a whole different way. It also reminds you of how things were when you were first married in comparison to now. With time we tend to take things for granted about our spouse. This is just a great movie with a great message and even though it seems like it deals with just marraige, there are other aspects of dealing with other people such as parents etc. It touches a lot of subjects.

A friend of mine who is not a Christian watched the movie and came to me to tell me what a good movie it was. He said that he and his wife had both watched it and they were going to go home and watch it again. There was a different light in his eyes after watching it, so I'm really praying that he will see the truth and "really watch it".

The movie company that made this movie is out of a small church in Albany Georgia. They also made "Facing the Giants". I'm going to get that one for my youth group to watch. I have not seen their other movie called Flywheel, but I'm going to look for it.

So....watch Fireproof. You will not be sorry.

The other thing we are watching at our house is the "web cam" for the Redoubt Volcano/Mountain. It's something we have been following since we have family in Alaska. They have webcams facing the summit and the steam vents etc. It's interesting to see what's going on and also to watch the sun rise over the mountain. You should check it out.

Have a great day!
