Flywheel

I wanted to take a moment to share a movie that my wife and I watched last night. We went to Block Buster Movie Rentals to see what we could rent over the weekend. Kathy picked out a movie called Flywheel. Now if anyone is familiar with Fireproof, which is the latest movie out by the Kendrick Brothers knows what a wonderful movie it was. Flywheel was the first movie attempt made and I just thought it was incredible!

This movie was so touching and awe inspiring that I just had to share it with everyone in case they have not seen it.

Here is a little Sneak Peek!

Here is the story line directly from the website!

Jay Austin wants to sell used cars in the worst way ... and that's exactly how he does business at his dealership. Promising much more than he can ever deliver, he'll do whatever it takes to sell a car. His manipulative ways permeate all of his relationships—even his wife and son know they can't trust him.

But as Jay works on restoring a classic convertible, he begins to see that God is working on restoring him as well. Coming face-to-face with the reality of how he truly conducts himself, Jay Austin begins the ride of his life as he commits to honoring God with his business, his relationships, and his life!

FLYWHEEL: Director's Cut is the first movie produced by Sherwood Pictures, the movie making ministry of a Georgia church that went on to produce FACING THE GIANTS in 2006. FLYWHEEL offers the same faith-filled warmth and humor that audiences loved in FACING THE GIANTS. The Kendrick Brothers wrote both films and FLYWHEEL also stars Alex Kendrick (Coach Grant Taylor). FLYWHEEL will have you cheering (and crying) once again!

I know it seems like I am being a movie critic, but with all of the violence in the movies now it is so difficult to find a family movie that both adults and children can enjoy. Both my wife and I found ourselves crying at several parts in this movie. It is one of the best movies I have seen in a while, almost since Fireproof!

Can you believe that this movie was made with a $20,000 dollar budget! The story line is touching and deals with Greed, selfishness, Pride, Lying, Sin, Trust, being humble in Gods eyes, and so much more. It also shows how a father and husband learns what it means to love God and family.

I guess in the famous words of Siskel and Ebert!

TWO THUMBS UP!

Please if you have not seen this movie, go rent it if you can! I am going to go rent Facing the Giants movie after this.

God Bless and go rent this movie!

Weekends...A great way to recharge the batteries!!!

Slowly but surely time is slipping away until we all have to wake up Monday morning and get back to the dull, mundain start of the work week. It has been so great having a weekend off with my wife and kids to help feel refreshed, well, somewhat refreshed anyway. I had a chance to really hang out with my wife most of Saturday while my almost 16 year old daughter had a going away party for the summer.

Before you say anything, I have to comment on what a wonderful daughter she is. She is the type of daughter you dream of having (even though she is only my step-daughter, I feel like she is my own). The party was with approx 8-10 of her good friends and they are all so well mannered. So my wife and I stayed out of their hair and resolved ourselves to retire upstairs into our retreat, that means our bedroom. We just watched T.V. for a while and peeked in from time to time, but everyting went very well.

Today, we went to the movies and watched Night at the Museum II. For the most part it was a pretty enjoyable movie. Kat and I brought our 10 year old daughter with us so I thought it best to see a more family oriented movie. So back on point, I had a pretty good weekend at home with my wife and kids, wish it could have been longer much, much longer. I really need to start checking to see how much vacation time I have so I can plan some small trip together over the summer. Well I am off to spend the last few hours of the weekend with my beautiful wife. Hope to hear from you all on how your weekend was.

Take Care and God Bless,

P.S. Dont' you just wish you could jump into this picture for a week?
