Scotty and I went to see this movie for our date night this week. I would encourage everyone to see this movie! We always are trying to see films that do not have cursing / nudity in them, but this went above and beyond.
I was totally surprised and a bit upset with myself while watching this movie. As I sat in the movie theater, I knew it was going to be a movie about a failing marriage and a husband that would eventually come to know the Lord. However, I was totally in awe of my heart reaction when I felt a little embarrassed to hear "Jesus" spoken of so many times in the movie.
CRAZY, I know! Has my heart been so hardened and my ears been so desensitized from watching all the filth over the years that when a movie finally comes along with the audacity to speak TRUTH - I feel embarrassed to hear it?
I pray I would not just go through my days - in and out - without making an impact for the Kingdom. I pray I would not just do the daily chores of the house without truly serving my husband in love. I pray I would not just speak words without realizing they are truly either life or death - nothing else. Most of all, I pray I would hold God's name in reverence and honor - brining GLORY to Him every moment and not feel ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ.
Go see the movie. For real.

Wow, we'll have to see that one. I know what you mean about that little part of you that sheepishly hides when Jesus is mentioned. I typically feel like people think I'm retarded or crazy when I talk about the Lord...because let's be honest, the things we believe in are very supernatural. So let's pray the Holy Spirit loads us up on faith so we can boldly proclaim His name.
I heard about this movie, and look forward to seeing it.
