movie monday OVERCOME

Here is another movie from the same makers of the Belle movie we saw last week.
This one was quite a bit better quality with a few continued poor acting areas but I think these guys are just small time of coarse. This movie is good for the cleaness and good message although the biblical message is NOT clear indeed! But if you want something to watch that is at least a 'good' message then it might be doable. There is a teenage drinking scene but if I remember right there is no 'beer bottles' visualized. Very short scene too. No real hope in Christ is given but God's name is mentioned and church and the parents do get down on there knees to pray for God to intervene for their child. The prayer is not really said outloud though. So from there, I will leave it to you. It could make a VERY GOOD conversation peace without seeing the worst gore and his efforts were noble in doing the 'right thing'.

Belle and the Beast: A Christian Romance

You know how I like to mention movies that I like that are clean and such...this one is a good one.
It is a cheaply made movie and the 'beast' is unbelievable while he's angry, but more so as he sweetens up. I couldn't help but like this movie anyway, it has a classic tale and held my attention. Very clean in all ways, even damsel could watch this one. Beast looses wife, not shown, turns to drink, now shown, turns mean, Belle tames his heart, beast turns nice, other guy tries to ruin said budding romance, guy wins girl. One final, tasteful kiss in the end.

the ultimate gift

Ok, you all must see this movie!! It is full of laughs and tears and the whole family can enjoy it. I promise, that when I got this, that I had no idea whatsoever, that it involved cancer at all. It still isn't the main focus of the movie. There is a clear character building message in how a selfish, spoiled man was changed through the death of his grandfather.
Check your library, order this from Netflix if you have that like me.
Merry Christmas!!

Why MAGNANIMOUS?

Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary of the American Language defines Magnanimity as such:
MAGNANIM'ITY, n. [L. magnanimitas; magnus, great, and animus, mind.] Greatness of mind; that elevation or dignity of soul, which encounters danger and trouble with tranquillity and firmness, which raises the possessor above revenge, and makes him delight in acts of benevolence, which makes him disdain injustice and meanness, and prompts him to sacrifice personal ease, interest and safety for the accomplishment of useful and noble objects.
