Peaceful Moments

Hi *|TITLE:FNAME|*,

Monday I had dinner sitting on the back porch. I was reading, thinking about God's grace, and watching the sun go down. That's pretty unusual for me. Most evenings I have something going on after work, and if I don't then I stay later at the office.

Monday was different. It was a holiday and I was staying at a friend's home overlooking our valley. From my vantage point I could see for miles and enjoy the profound silence. The sun sank toward the horizon, painting the sky with glowing hues of pinks and oranges, signaling the end of another day.

It was an incredibly peaceful moment at the beginning of a very busy week. I wonder why I don't have more days like this?

Whatever the reason, Monday night I experienced something wonderful; the end of a day celebrated with splendor and silence. As I go about the rest of my week, I want to remember that moment of grace and beauty and interject a little bit of Monday in even the busiest day.

From the screening room,

Stage and Screen Actor Jason Hildebrand

Jason Hildebrand, a stage and film actor and corporate consultant from Canada, is also a loving dad to his daughters. Based in Toronto, Canada, Jason's work takes him around the world. A versatile writer and actor, some of his work requires him to portray as many as 23 characters in the same performance. Jason and I met at the Gideon Media Arts Conference and Film Festival and immediately connected at a networking workshop. We sat down one afternoon to talk about the various facets of his work, being a father, and relating to our Father.

New Truce in the Culture Wars?

Emmy-award-winning filmmaker Dan Merchant got so fed up with the culture war that he donned a white jumpsuit, plastered religious and anti-religious bumper stickers all over it and traveled across America, interviewing prominent and not-so-prominent Americans about the culture war that has raged for decades between religious conservatives and their more secular counterparts. The result is Lord Save Us From Your Followers: Why The Gospel of Love Is Dividing America, a film that has been described by one publication as a cross between a Michael Moore and Monty Python film. The movie opens nationwide on September 25th and the filmmakers have set up a unique distribution system that allows individual groups to request that the film be brought to their local theater.

Synopsis:
Wounded by the recent death of her husband, Dr. Belinda Simpson (Sarah Jones) arrives in the tiny town of Sikeston to take up the post of town physician. Once there, she discovers that many of the town’s residents, including children at an orphanage run by Miss Hattie Clarence (Cloris Leachman), have fallen ill to or died from an unknown ailment. Soon, Belinda begins to worry that she is in over her head, despite reassurances from her best friend, Annie (Haylie Duff), and the town blacksmith, Lee (Jordan Bridges). Unfortunately, the residents of Sikeston aren’t as trusting of Belinda’s abilities as a doctor – mainly because she’s a woman. As well, many of them don’t even want her to help the orphans, who they blame for infecting the rest of the town. Indeed, they would be happy to see the orphanage close altogether. Opposed by what seems like the entire town, Belinda must trust in her abilities, her friends and her faith to guide her.

Dove Worldview:
This is number seven from the "Love Come Softly" tales. Now into the third generation of the Clark family, Missy's daughter, Belinda, is a grown woman with a doctor's degree. She has lost her beloved Drew to illness. Belinda now questions her career and her faith when she goes west to a new town and practice.

As with past stories in this series, there are many lessons to learn regarding love, compassion and faith. Sometimes we all lose sight of our faith when our prayers are not answered in the way we hoped, but it does not mean that God is not listening. This story shows that He has a different plan for us sometimes than we have for ourselves. In "Love Takes Wing", Belinda finds God's plan to continue the legacy of the heartwarming story we all have fallen in love with.

Everyone will enjoy this story as they did the others. We award this movie with our Dove "Family-Approved" Seal.

Love Takes Wing #7 - DVD

The seventh heartwarming movie in Janette Oke's Love Comes Softly saga.

Dr. Belinda Simpson (Sarah Jones) arrives in the town of Sikeston as a physician only to find many people have become ill or have died from a mystery ailment.

Still as feisty as ever, Belinda Simpson is now a doctor in a small Missouri town where an unknown plague is spreading fear and resentment among the townspeople. One local resident thinks the illness was spread from the town orphanage and wants to see it shut down. Belinda struggles to make sense of the disease and God’s plan for the beleaguered town. But with the support of Lee Owens (Jordan Bridges), the town’s handsome young blacksmith and her best friend (Haylie Duff), Belinda learns that if she can rely on faith — and love — then everything else may just fall into place.

Starring Cloris Leachman, Patrick Duffy, Lou Diamond Phillips and Haylie Duff.

The Moment After 2: The Awakening - DVD

by Carron King

"I have seen both The Moment After movies and they are great. Considering what is happening in our world today, they are like a wake up call to anyone who ever had doubts. I certainly hope there will be a third movie because of the unanswered questions in 2."
