Courageous

**Ok first an update on Lee, his blood sugar and blood pressure are down from a week ago. His bp is almost normal thanks to his medication. His blood sugar is down from a week ago, but still very high, last Wednesday it was 518 this morning his fasting blood sugar was 245, still high but dropping. We were not able to get all his medications until Saturday, so he has been on them only 5 days now. Please keep him in your prayers. Me too! **

Now on to today's post.
I have posed in the past about the Kendrick brothers and their films, Flywheel, Facing the Giants and Fireproof; all made in Albany, Georgia and through their church, Sherwood Baptist Church.
Well their newest film hits the theater in 9 days! September 30th!
Courageous is a movie about fathers. These fathers all are Police Officers

and Courageous is their story.
I encourage you to visit their website to see the trailer and learn more.

I can tell you in all honesty well in my opinion anyway,  God has a call on the lives of Alex and Stephen Kendrick. They are wonderful story tellers and the stories they weave teach great lessons in Faith and the love of God.
The movies they write, direct, edit, produce and act in are a blessing that can not be measured.
Every time we watch them (which is often) I feel renewed in my spirit.
If you have not seen any of them yet I hope you will.
I do not have the words to properly express the impact these wonderful films have made in our lives and marriage. What a blessing they are to us.
So set the date for Sept. 30th and make a movie date with your family.

*I am in no way compensated for promoting this, I just love them and I know you will too.*

    Thank you for visiting me today Jenny! I appreciate your kind comments. I lived in Albany GA last year, having just moved from there this summer. It's amazing how dull this little town is to produce something so great. Can't wait to see the new movie!

    Jenny,,,I am so sorry to hear about your hubby, but so thankful he is going to be okay! I am sure you are getting a ton of advice, but my cousin was diagnosed with it...adult onset...and has had a lot of success with adding cinnamon to his diet. It helps regulate sugar naturally, I think. We will for sure pray for your family!

    Love to YOU!

Woolzies!

Hey Y'all! Sorry to have been away so long again. I won't go into details, but it has been a bit of an adventure here. I think  things are settling down (fingers crossed) So how are ya? I have another give away for ya! A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to try and review a box of Woolzies Dryer Balls. Here is a bit about Woolzies from their website Photo from their Facebook page  Woolzies are pure handmade New Zealand wool dryer balls that soften your laundry naturally without any of the chemicals of conventional fabric softeners. Unlike the plastic dryer balls, they are PVC free and won't fall apart or melt on you. Woolzies save time and energy by cutting down on drying time by an average of 25% per load. They also help reduce static and wrinkles. Use Woolzies to snuggle up with naturally downy soft laundry that's completely free of harmful chemicals.  Woolzies are also hypo-allergenic and totally safe for people with wool sensitivities as...

Merry Christmas Y'all. Yes I say Merry Christmas! I keep Christ in  Christmas because it matters to me. I was at a craft show recently and at one of the booth's I wished the vendor a Merry Christmas, he said Thank You and then said "I don't say anything anymore, you never know what people believe and I don't want to offend anyone" OK I get that, he is a businessman....however;  I replied...."I say Merry Christmas because it is what I believe" he said huh... I have never thought of it that way before... I work for the "worlds largest retailer" and I say Merry Christmas all season long, In all of the 23 years I have worked in retail, no one has ever said "don't say that to me" actually most people are kind of surprised to hear it if I judge by the look on their faces and most reply Merry Christmas to you too. So try it on for size, the next time you are out, wish the people in your path a Merry Christmas, I bet it will make...
