Funny thing is, that's how I remember you too. Old memories die hard, eh? You should update your blog more often. Not that I have too much to say...=P How are you these days? I can't even remember how old you are. I'll be sixteen in September. If you happened to forget that about me, as well. ^_~ btw, totally agree with you about Fireproof, here! I had a big problem with the preachiness of it. And how non-Christians would see it as just that (a stiff necked, stereotypical "Christian" approach). Hm. Blessings! -havi Hey Cynthia!

I watched Fireproof about a month ago, and now that you mention it, it does seem like it would make a different impact on Christians vs. Non-Christians. Until someone gets to know Jesus, I don't think they understand what true love is. It seems many people think 'love' is about feeling good and satisfying something within them - they don't realize that 'love' is an action; it's something we do - not something we feel. I think the movie shows how the definition of love changed for the characters. It went from the World's definition to God's definition, and that saved their marriage. I'm sure many marriages would be saved if they did the same thing. Yes, the transformation from Worldly living to Christian living did happen quickly in the movie, and it did seem 'preachy' at certain points. I hope that God worked miracles through the movie all the same, and that people were led to Christ. As for Pendragon, it looks like it would be a great movie to watch. I pray for more movies like Fireproof and Pendragon. I'll take a Christian-based movie over the mainstream stuff any day. Hi Cynthia!

It looks as if Pendragon would be better for older kids..teens because of the fighting? I will probably watch it first. Thanks for sharing My kids loved Fireproof the 6-12year olds.

I for one, fully enjoyed the movie, Fireproof. Walked into the theater without any extra tissue and ended up using my sleeve on my coat. I know, too much information. But it was a great movie to see for me and my husband. We could relate to so many things in it. I can, though, see your side of it. Perhaps the movie did make it seem *all to easy*. Very interesting.
