Fireproof

"Fireproof" is the new movie out September 26. It comes from the same church in Georgia that created the movie "Facing the Giants." "Fireproof" deals with marriages and how difficult they can be. Kirk Cameron and Erin Bethea are the lead characters.
On Sunday, my parent's church (FBC Edmond, Oklahoma) started a new series called "Why women love Jesus." Erin Bethea gave a 15 minute testimony to start off the series. I didn't realize who she was until after watching the trailer of the movie in church. She had a minor role in "Facing the Giants" and is the lead actress in "Fireproof." She works in Orlando for Disney World at her dream job acting in one of the shows. (She wouldn't divulge too much information about it.) By the way, did you realize that the actors don't get paid in this movie? They have no idea how well it will do! God blessed her by opening up doors for her to get her dream job that wouldn't have opened up otherwise.
I am excited about seeing the movie! David and I enjoyed the first movie and I'm sure we'll enjoy this one, too. Mom & Dad said it was a great movie and recommends any marriage in trouble see it. Don't get any ideas - we aren't in trouble just like see a good christian movie. :)

So Dave and I watch tons of movies. We look forward to getting our netflix choices every week and schedule time in to watch them together. When we netflixed Facing the Giants, we both blubbered through the whole thing. Granted, neither of us cry at movies very much. But this one, because we could take it so real to heart and because it had so much more substance then typical Hollywood movies brought us both to tears...hard tears. When the husband found out his wife was pregnant and prayed in thanksgiving, we both couldn't control our emotions. I think it is so ironic that a movie with not the greatest acting and a seemingly cheesy story line can move us in such different ways then movies with famous actors with no substance at all, ya know? We will for sure see this next one.
