Here’s To The Start Of Something New!

I am not a reader.  Never have been.  I read when I need to for classes or meetings but I don’t read for pleasure.  I’m not too sure why. Both of my parents like to read and I have read books here and there, but I just never got hooked.  So I am starting something new in 2010…I am going to start reading!!!  I got a jumpstart at the end of 2009 by joining the women’s book club at church.  I am not going to set a certain number of books or anything, I am just going to start a list of books I read through out the year.  Here is goes:

2009

The Shack by William P. Young

Tuesday Night at the Blue Moon by Debbie Fuller Thomas

Same Kind of Different as Me by Ron Hall & Denver Moore

Unashamed: A Burning Passion to Share the Gospel by Floyd McElveen

Can A Movie Change The World?

No, but it can move the people who will.

I was fortunate enough to have been able to prescreen the movie TO SAVE A LIFE at a church outreach conference back in October.  Although I am not yet the parent of a teen or pre-teen I feel so blessed to have seen this movie and to have been made aware of the battles of today’s youth.

Teens struggle daily with issues unique to their generation and they make choices every day that will impact the rest of their lives.  The indie movie TO SAVE A LIFE will be the largest national outreach event for teens ever done.  To Save A Life deals with issues teens face every day – it’s their story told in their voice with their music.

To Save A Life

TO SAVE A LIFE is more than a movie. It's the difference we can make when we use our influence and time for others — in our family, neighborhood, campus, community, or world. Some people are just dying to be heard and accepted. Don't let them have to. Be the person who takes the time to show people they have value. Listen. Reach out. Engage. Imagine if we took the time to show other people we care. TO SAVE A LIFE dares — no, inspires — you to.

Dare to make your life count! See the ripple effect your life can have on others! We are never more like Jesus than when we reach out to those who need him most. For a preview of the movie you can visit www.ToSaveALife.com.
