March 2018 SOLSC - 26/31 - Movie Review

Yesterday, a group of friends gathered together at the movie theatre to see "I Can Only Imagine".  I'm not a movie goer.  I don't like the blood and guts or the fantasy. But,  I like good, thought provoking plots.  This movie was just that - good and thought provoking.  The story of how the song "I Can Only Imagine" came to be written.  The story of a young man who had a terrible beginning to his life until he accepted God into his life.  The story unfolds from there and this song was written and sung by MercyMe and has become the #1 hit.

If you haven't heard the song, here are the lyrics:

I can only imagine by MercyMe

 I can only imagine what it will be like
When I walk by your side
I can only imagine what my eyes will see
When your face is before me
I can only imagine

Yeah

Surrounded by your glory
What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you, Jesus,
Or in awe of you be still?
Will I stand in your presence
Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing hallelujah?
Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine
I can only imagine

I can only imagine when that day comes
And I find myself standing in the sun
I can only imagine when all I will do
Is forever, forever worship you
I can only imagine, yeah
I can only imagine

Surrounded by your glory
What will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you, Jesus,
Or in awe of you be still?
Will I stand in your presence
Or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing hallelujah?
Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine
Yeah
I can only imagine

I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever, forever worship you

If you haven't seen the movie or heard the song, check it out.  It's all about forgiveness and forgiving.

    My daughter saw this yesterday with her church youth group. She said she cried through the entire movie. They will be discussing the movie at their next meeting. It sounds like a must-see.

    I am wanting to see this movie, but wondered if it was going to be really hokey (how do you spell that word).

    I loved the movie(I wrote a slice about it, too). I think it is a great movie for a youth group to see and discuss.

    I am not familiar with this movie. There are so few movies that I care to see today because of language and scenes that it is good to know that there are movies out there that do promote things that really counts.

    I'm not familiar with the song or the move, so thanks for the recommendation. It's good when a movie can provoke us to think about our beliefs. It sounds like a lot of youth groups are going to see the movie and discussing it afterwards.

    Huh ... some how I missed this slice! Great song. I didn't realize the story behind it was a movie! Sounds good!

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014

Tuesday SOL - 9/25/12 - A New Beginning for a Special Couple

Image
Several weeks ago we were invited to a wedding for two very dear friends.  What a special occasion it was!  This is the second marriage for both of them and they are in their early 70's.  But, before telling you about the wedding, you need to know "the rest of the story". Jeannie's husband died about 10 years ago from heart related problems.  Several years after his death, she was involved in a terrible automobile accident and was never expected to walk again.  But through sheer determination (and the help of God) she walks without the aid of crutches.  At this point she really didn't have God in her life and I'm not sure at what point she found God (or more than likely, God found her).  She always asked God to find her that special man who had faith, was kind, had a great sense of humor and who loved her. Along came Richard.  His wife died about 5 years ago, also to heart related problems.  They "knew" each other through church, Bible ...
