Movies

Last night I did something I haven't done since high school. I went to two movies in one night. And they were in two different cities!

First on the list was Fireproof which I've wanted to see since I first saw the trailer for it awhile back. It was difficult for me to watch at first, as it brought back some painful memories. I think they handled the topic very well and they did not sugarcoat the Gospel at all. I don't want to ruin any aspect of this movie for anyone who might be reading this, but there is one scene that I want to call to attention that appears in the trailer. Caleb (Kirk Cameron) has just gotten rid of the computer. In it's place, he puts a vase full of red roses with a note card that says, "I love you more". This is what every woman needs to see demonstrated in the relationship, almost more than anything else. She needs to know that she comes before a pricey toy, bad habits, other people. That she is valued so much her husband is willing to put her needs first. I won't get into all the reasons why this movie touched me so much....but it did. I have another friend who hasn't seen it yet, so I hope to go see it again!

The next movie I saw was Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. It was a lot like American Graffiti and Dazed and Confused except with music. It has made me realize that there is a lot more music in the world that I've not had access to here in Kentucky.

For now I've got sorting, packing and labeling to do.
