Help Misha

Image
Picture from HelpMisha.blogspot.com I am sure by now if you read my blog on a somewhat regular basis you have seen my new Help Misha ChipIn! widget on the right side of my blog. I have been trying to write a post about this for a few days now and I can't say it better than its already been said so... Read this story about a little boy named Misha who came to the US from Russia for surgery. The sweet family currently housing him have the desire to adopt him. If your heart goes out to him as mine did, then I urge you to pray for him. If you are able to financially help with the adoption costs I know that would be greatly appreciated. James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

Scripture Sunday - Philippians 4:4-13

Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity. Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, ther...

Fireproof Your Marriage

One thing I admired of Alex Kendrick who made the movie Facing the Giants was that he didn't kiss the actress who played his wife in the movie. When I heard that the same people who made Facing the Giants were making a new movie called Fireproof , I was so excited. I went and watched the movie the weekend it came out and I thought it was a great movie except for one scene at the end that really bothered me where Kirk Cameron kissed the actress who played his wife in the movie. I was so bummed because to me that made it like any other Hollywood movie. Well the other day I was talking to someone about the movie and how disappointed I was in that scene and guess what they told me...Kirk Cameron actually kissed his real wife. I went to the Fireproof website to verify and sure enough here is what I found in the Q&A section. I was so happy and relieved.
