Fireproof My Marriage!
Nate and I went and saw such a good movie last..."Fireproof" - it stars Kirk Cameron (remember Growing Pains in the 80's/90's) and was made by the same people who made "Facing the Giants". The house was packed and not a dry eye from man or woman was in there when the movie ended. It is all about a husband and wife who have reached the point where they feel they have to get a divorce - no other options to work through it. The husband's father asks him to try one more thing if he thinks there is 'anything' left saving in the marriage and the young man agrees to do it. For 40 days he reads this journal his dad gave him with one task to do each day for his wife, though he can't tell her why he is doing it. It's all about the reason everyone should fight to save their marriage b/c it isn't just a 'contract' we enter until things get too tough and then we pull out but rather it is a 'commitment' we make to each other for better and worse till death do us part (wasn't that any everyone's vows?). Even if your marriage isn't rocky we all have those selfish moments where we think the other spouse could do more for us, doesn't appreciate us, or maybe even worse is more committed to something else in their life now then our relationship; this is a movie everyone - young and old- should go see with their spouse and then talk about. With the divorce rate so high and so many of us with little children depending on us to make it for their sake I hope lots of people will see this movie and recommit to putting their spouse and their marriages first in their life! www.fireproofmymarriage.com

Oooh! I am getting a sitter!!!
I completely amuse myself at times. I clicked the trash can next to my comment to see if I could trash my own comment from your blog.....and I can !
Anyway, I guess I have to type it all over again. Here it goes !......
YOU were the ones who took the last tickets to the show on Saturday night. Honey & I went to the theatre & the 2 times we could see were sold out. Good for the movie, not so good for us. Glad it was so good. Grandma is coming to visit, maybe we can try it again.
Next time buy 4 tickets !! :-)
Oh, we just got home from it. It did NOT disappoint. I will end up owning that one, along with Facing the Giants.
