Meet the Mormons and Help the Red Cross


I mentioned in August that I had a chance to preview an upcoming movie. I'm looking forward to Friday, October 10th,  when Meet the Mormons will be released to theaters nationwide.  I intend to see it again. 

 

 This is not a proselytizing movie; it's not like a Sunday School lesson, and no missionaries will be hanging around the theater.  It is an uplifting film highlighting six individuals who are trying to live their lives in a positive way.  Each story holds universal appeal, and all proceeds of the film go to the Red Cross.   (Years ago, I had an opportunity to hear Gail Halvorsen speak, and I have been fascinated with his story ever since.  Learning about his story is reason alone to see the film!) 


You can see if the film will be opening in your area, by clicking here.  I hope you will come join me in the theaters this weekend!  

Do you know a Mormon in real life?

    I would like to see the movie, but the chances are slim. So far, it's only going to be playing on the north side of Indy, an hour away from here.
    I'm pretty sure we've talked about my brother and his wife being Mormon.

      It is my understanding that after it runs in theaters, it will also be made available online. I don't know if that means Netflix, Youtube, or some other site, but in any case, there should be an opportunity for you to see it at some point.

      Yes, I remember that your brother and his wife are Mormon.

    Yes! One of the new PTA moms is Mormon as is her entire family. She is awesome and very open to questions about her faith. I've known a few others in my life and I love how family oriented they all are.

    Sounds like an excellent movie definitely something different than all those gory movies they are showing.
    Now, I just need a babysitter.

    It will never play in our little town, but I certainly can support anything that supports the Red Cross!

      I believe it will be on Netflix after its theatrical run.

    I haven't heard of that movie yet.. I admit that I've been bugging my resistant daughters to go see the creepy doll movie with me ~ think I might have to bribe them with something.
    Hope that you have a wonderful tuesday

      Well, this is nothing like that creepy doll movie, so maybe they'll agree to it! :-)

Ten Things of Thankful: 39 Years Edition

A political map of the world circa 1987. The Soviet Union takes up a sizable portion. A lot has happened in the last 39 years. The Berlin Wall came down. The Soviet Union collapsed. The Twin Towers fell. Technology has changed: landlines and phone booths are practically extinct, and random questions can be answered in seconds by asking Google, Siri, or Alexa. No longer do drivers keep the Thomas Guide in their cars; navigation systems will give turn-by-turn directions, and recalculate when the driver doesn't follow the directions. Some cars don't even need drivers. While many shoppers do their shopping in-person, some simply log into Amazon and have their item show up on their doorstep--sometimes within hours.  I've seen pieces of the Berlin Wall. I've traveled to places that used to be behind the Iron Curtain. I've been to Ground Zero. I no longer have a house phone, and have looked up the answers to countless questions using my cell phone. I do not miss the stress...

Ten Things of Thankful: April Showers Edition

  A red peony bud prepares to open fully  After an incredibly dry winter, we had a bit of precipitation this past week, in the form of falling snow. We didn't have much, and it didn't really stick, but we'll take water however it wants to come. Fortunately, my peonies seem unaffected by the cold snap, and are ready to put on a show here soon. 1. I'm thankful for moisture. 2. I'm thankful the flowers are still going to bloom. I don't know how the colder temperatures will affect the fruit crops. The strawberries look like they are still planning to set fruit. We'll have to see what happens with the peach, apricot, pear, and apple. (The apricot only bears heavily every other year anyway, and I think this is an "off" year--though I could be wrong.) Strawberry plants in full bloom 3. I'm thankful for anticipated berries.  We continue to clear out and otherwise prepare John's parents' house for sale. I've been going through old photos and...

Monday Mentions: Equate Crutches

Have you ever needed crutches? I hadn't, until a week ago.  I'm pretty sure I strained a muscle while running a half-marathon.  (That sounds kind of cool, doesn't it? I'm not actually that cool; the last time I strained a muscle it was from carrying too many shopping bags at once.) In any case, I found myself in need of some crutches. I sent my husband to the store to get some. Photo: A pair of crutches leans against a wall  Not that crutches are all that complex, but because I hadn't used any before, I wondered if I could figure out how to adjust them to fit me properly. I shouldn't have worried. John came home from Walmart with their generic store brand of crutches, complete with instructions. First, I needed to take out a long bolt that went through the hand grip. Then I needed to find my height range, push down two metal pieces, and slide the crutches until the little metal pieces came up in the hole near my height range. (Having two people for this...
