AUGUST RUSH

Living in a house with 4 little girls, I can't tell you the last movie that I have seen that didn't have the letters HSM in it or the word princess. Tonight I went the movies just to go to the movies. I did not know anything about what I was going to see or had even seen the trailer. Jeannie's uncle Mickey just said that we were going to see AUGUST RUSH.

I live on a boys ranch, so the opening scene of the movie got my attention. One movie review called it OLIVER TWIST meets FAME. It reminded me of GOOD WILL HUNTING or FINDING FORESTER. The movie is one of the best ones that I have seen in a long time (refer back to opening comments!). The movie has a great message. From what I've seen advertised, it is probably the best one out during Thanksgiving. Mickey, good call on the movie! I've already downloaded the soundtrack.

Amazing Grace

My friends, Rick and Marcia, are gracious enough to be at the ranch this weekend serving as houseparents at the McClendon House. Marcia has been telling me that I need to go see this movie, AMAZING GRACE. The movie is about reformed slave trader, John Newton.

The past few weeks I have noticed that I have been using the word "amazing" quite often. It is because of God's grace that I get to witness so many amazing things at the ranch and in my family's life. GRACE is AMAZING.

I have not seen the movie yet.I have watched the trailers tonight. I would be interested to know if anyone has seen it and what they think.
