Fireproof


My husband and I haven't been to an adult movie since "Titanic". We just aren't big movie goers. We have taken the kids to see several over the years and while we do enjoy them, it just isn't something we have ever really done. Even dating, we would rent and watch at home rather than sitting in the theater.
After going out with some friends for supper the other night, we went to the movies. I had never even heard of this one. It hasn't been advertised on TV that I have seen, hadn't heard of it on the movie reviews. So, with no preconceived notions, I was up for a good movie. The movie is
Fireproof.
What a wonderful message. It is about a firefighter and his wife going through marriage trouble. In the movie, the husband (Kirk Cameron) thinks that his wife is the problem and she doesn't respect him. What he finds, with the help and guidance of his father, is the true path to happiness is to find happiness in God. With God's love, he then learns how to love his wife unselfishly.


This is a great movie for all couples. If you have problems in your marriage or not, we can all make improvements in how we show our love to our spouses and at the same time, honor the covenant we made with each other. This in turn honors God.

The Bank that never fails

It's Sunday morning and the preacher had a great sermon on banks. I've never thought about putting my faith in God as a bank that never fails. In this insane time of economic uncertainty, it is comforting to know that we can put our faith in the bank of God and receive our investment with compounded intrest and that back will never fail.
