Fun Flicks

I have been on a week break from blogging with a lot on my heart. I will share with all of you sometime after Easter exactly what this is all about. In the meantime, I will leave you with two excellent movies that you need to watch when you get some free time. One is a dvd and the other a great family movie that just opened this weekend.

I know many of you have already seen The Pursuit of Happyness, but those of you who haven't-GO RENT IT!!! This movie made me so appreciate the blessings in my life. It also made me very aware of how hard work and determination don't always pay off immediately. Sometimes you have to work a long time to see those rewards come to pass. The acting is exceptional and I was literally clapping and crying at the end. I was all alone when I watched this (Skip at work) so I didn't really have to worry about my reactions. I'm one of those people who like to get fully immersed when I take on a movie and the storyline.

We took the kids out on Friday night to see Meet the Robinson's. I used my trusty Rotten Tomatoes review site and it did not dissappoint. If there is a 60% or higher fresh rating, I usually love the movie. I'm pretty easy to please with movies. Meet the Robinsons was rated G which is always a plus, and it was Disney at its finest. I loved the cleverness of it all. There were several times we were laughing out loud and it was visually a wonder to watch. I didn't even see it in 3D which was suppossed to be even better for those of you who have a theater that is showing that version. A great movie to take kids 7 years old and up! I just picked 7 because some smaller children may be a little scared during some of the darker scenes(which aren't too many). My kids could have seen it at any age and done fine, knowing that it is just a movie, but I know some children get scared a little easier than others.

With Easter and our first service in the new building only a week away, I'm sure this week will be busy. I am challenging myself to pray everyday for the lost people who will be attending BAF for the first time this next weekend. I pray that they come to know Jesus Christ as there Savior, beginning that relationship which will last for eternity. So many lives have already been changed at this church through God's awesome power and mercy, that I can't wait to see what He has in store for the next phase.
