Dvd Review-least Among Us (lionsgate)
This Movie is based on a true person. Richard Kelly is a young African American who is struggling during the time if Martin Luther king Jr He has big plans as he has a job all lined up that will help pay for the medication his ailing mother needs. without him knowing his mother fills out an application to Westbury Seminary in California. After attempting to calm violence he is placed in jail for assault of a police officer. Thru a turn of events he is forced to go to the seminary in order to reduce his sentence. And by doing so and through God working in this man’s life BOTH he and the seminary are changed for the better!
As for my personal thoughts on this movie……it’s a good one BUT it challenges you. I think I liked it better the second time around. there is a lot to process and many characters. it is an eyeopener that just because Seminary is attached to a school’s name it doesn’t mean it’s a solid one. Also being in a Christian environment doesn’t mean that racism or for that matter sin isn’t still there. Money can corrupt and hearts can be hardened to God. In an amazing set of events God reaches young Kelly and changes him from the inside out and in not so easy ways. In the end the transformation is simply amazing. Stands are made and we learn just before the credits roll what Richard Kelly does with the rest of his life!
On a side note we have not yet let our children (ages 6 1/2 and under watch this movie) due to violence.
What’s in the Bible with Buck Denver
Phil Vischer
Do you know the name? If you have had a preschooler in the last20 years you should (Oh BOY do I feel Old) He is the creator of VEGGIE TALES! For a long time i loved Veggie Tales But have you noticed that it has changed…and in my opinion NOT for the better! I believe that this has to do with Phil Vischer no longer working on Veggie Tales there has hardly been a reference to God and there has been no Bible stories since Gideon! Well except for the Christmas story “The little Drummer Boy” Which talks about Jesus’ Birth BUT the little drummer boy is never mentioned in scripture! So enough of my soap Box and Onto our family’s new favorite go to video series.

Women of Faith Confrence-november 4th and 5th
So back a few months ago i was catching up with some friends on facebook when one of my friends(who also has a blog) linked to a Booksneeze offer to be a Women of faith blogger. They were offering not just one BUT two free tickets to any of the Women of Faith Conferences this fall. All you had to do was send in some info,post a badge to your website and publish two blog posts one before and one after the conference!. I was super excited But I figured who would select me and my little old blog! I knew too that this could be a great chance for me to go since funds are limited. Well i had no idea how many they would choose probably only one per city right so when I saw that my friend Jen from Reflections in the window had been chosen I was bummed BUT the tickets went to a great blogger …..But when I went to check my email can you guess my delight when I too had been chosen. I was ECSTATIC!
This joy was renewed when I got my tickets in the mail too. But I was also reminded that I had to write this blog post…..
So if at all possible come join me in Rochester for the Women of faith Imagine tour November 4th and 5th!
And A HUGE thank you to both Women of Faith and Booksneeze for such an awesome privilege!
Book Review: the X and Y of Buy By Elizabeth Pace
I have to admit that I had no idea that this book was intended for those in the marketing field. It’s description at the time was a bit deceiving BUT Overall I learned a lot from this book! It is not an easy read…Especially if you are not familiar with marketing terms (as I am not). However i will say this. It was an enlightening read. It showed me why i am more drawn to things that my husband, and viice versa! I really found the chapters most interesting on how the male and female brains function an think through the purchasing process! it has really helped me in thinking through the reasons I am purchasing something Like “do I really need this” or “Am I just drawn to an attractive display?’
If you enjoy figuring out why you thin (or shop) the way you do then check this book out! Just have a dictionary close By and if you are working in the Marketing field well then this is a MUST READ! Just beware I have read the book too!
