5K x 4
Just a personal note today... besides being so flipping behind in blogging, I did my fourth 5K this evening. Thanks to a good friend for pushing me to it in the first place. And to my husband who, by just being his annoyingly fit self, is inspiration personified. Love you, Babe.
I met the ADA [American Diabetes Association] lady at the run tonight. They've got the TourdeCure happening on Saturday. Maybe I'll volunteer some time for that...if it hasn't burnt to the ground by then.
Say a prayer for all the people who have lost homes today. Going to be another dry, dry, awful, hot summer. It's so early!! And already the countryside is being ravaged by flames.
Speaking of flames, don't forget to come by the group blog. Through Heart-Shaped Glasses is in full swing this month, talking about loooove, romance, and WEDDINGS! It is June, you know.
Have a great week.
With Love,
Bethanne

Another One Bites the Dust
This past weekend, my husband and I watched another badly made Inspirational Market film. :pullhair: :pullhair: We didn't read the fine print on the back of the cover... or we probably would have set it back on the shelf. In any case, it made me want to scream!!!
It was supposed to be a movie in the line of Skulls, which, btw is a GREAT movie. But of course, they fell far short of creating a real story. :pullhair: :pullhair:
And it just really struck me... write a good story!! Stop worrying about offending people. That's exactly why the movie was bad. They did NOT completely portray the evil this hero was supposed to be fighting...and we're talking bad spirits, control, etc. Bad guys who've been stealing and killing for 140 years. :fryingpan:
bad dialogue
stereotypes
themes you can see coming from a mile away
no sense of time
and they needed a continuity expert
People keep challenging me to read books or watch movies, claiming they break from this awfulness, but they don't. I'm disappointed again because they've sacrificed the art of movie making and story-telling for God.

True!

Music Monday
It's Memorial Day again in the States.
Time to remember all those who made the greatest sacrifice, giving their lives to protect our Country, our freedom. For me, I don't mind hearing people say, Happy Memorial Day. I don't mind if people go out and picnic--laugh, love, live. There were no limitations to the sacrifice. There should be no limitations to the celebration of those lives.
Each one, another life, a man or woman who died so we could live. It only stands to reason that we actually live. We remember them by living. We remember them in life.
And yes, that could mean a barbeque...
or a day hiking...
or sitting under the stars and watching fireworks.
It's not always about going to their grave.
Like Lee Brice says... the warrior we think about on Memorial Day is not there.
So, enjoy your day. Thank God for the sacrifice. Thank a veteran for all he does. And live. Because without that, the sacrifice is lost.
With Love,
Bethanne
