Fireproof!

I'm sure many of you have heard of the movie starring Kirk Cameron by now, and If you have not had a chance to watch it I highly recommend it. It is a wonderful portrayal of God's amazing grace as well as the value and work of a marriage. It is a great movie whether you are married or not and it is full of emotion. Unlike most romantic or marriage type movies, I didn't just want them to say they loved each other I wanted them to truly work out their problems and come out stronger. I don't wont to spoil the plot for you, but I will say it is a great movie and I would watch it again. Marriage isn't easy but God intended for it to last. If you did see it what did you think?

God Bless,
