Facing the Giants

Me and my husband works different shift lately. Sometimes we don't even have time to talk to each other. He's in a swing shift and I tell you what, it's not fun for both of us. There were times that when he gets home I am already sleeping, ( 11:30 pm ) And by the time I have to left for work, my husband is still asleep. And when I come home he already left the house for work. But he was off yesterday and today he doesn't have to go to work until 11 pm . So after the gym, we decided to just watch a movie together. I think for the last couple of weeks, we've never turn the TV on.

Anyway, he was the one who choose what kind of movie we are going to watch and he chose FACING the GIANTS. This is a story of a person who couch the high school football team ,the Shiloh Eagles. He has been a coach for this team for 6 years but never leads his team to a winning season. "When faced with seemingly insurmountable professional and personal crisis, the idea of giving up has never come easier. It's only after an unexpected visitor challenges him to trust in the power of faith that he discovers the strength to persevere." This is a movie about faith , about trusting God , nothing is impossible with God.

After watching the movie , I asked my husband why he chooses this one. And his reply was I was just so depressed by that news about what happened in California today. If you're following the news, you might know what happened in California today. And as a Christian , we are saddened by it.

Movie Marathon

I just stayed home the whole day today, the only time I went outside was when I checked my mail. I am actually not feeling well. I have a sore throat and I feel like I am having a fever or something.

The first movie that I watched is called " Amazing Grace ". This movie is based on a true story of William Wilberforce life. Wilberforce is an abolitionist in the late 18th century.And was inspired by the hymns that I think almost everybody knows, the Amazing Grace. This song was written by John Newton after he encourted a violent storm while he was the captain of one the slave ship trade. He's been working really hard to amend the slave trade which was very common in that era. He believed that God created all men equal. He attempted several times but it failed. It took many years before the Emancipation Bill had its final reading. And he died 3 days later. I can say that this is a really good movie. A very wholesome movie.

The second movie that I watched was " Rush Hour 3 " . It's a little funny. ( But it's hard to laugh when you're by yourself ) . It's a really Jackie Chan movie. But I think I like the first one better. I have not seen the Rush Hour 2. So I cannot really tell which of the three is my favorite.
