Last week I went to a conference here that was called Uniquely You. It was all about how to be a godly wife and mother and how to be organized and what your role as a wife and mother should be. It was so good. I learned so much and I wish that all my friends could have gone. There were women that came who were 45 and some who were 25. We had very long days but so much material I felt like I was in school.

In two weeks, TN has a crucial vote for the senate seat. It is between Bob Corker and Harold Ford. I don't know if many of you have seen tha ads that are out, but they are vicious and very political on both sides. This is an important election that leads to the presidential election. For those of us who live in TN we need to vote and we need to make our voice heard for this country. Just by the ads you can tell who is moral and who is not and who wants to make a difference in our country.

I thought I better write something because I am going to be gone this week to a conference for women.

Last weekend I went to see another movie that the christian community has put out. It is called"One Night with the King". It was a terrific movie that told the story of the life of Esther. The sets were unbelievable and the actors did a great job. What was interesting is that in the movie you have actors like Peter O'Toole who are starring in this moive that is christian. What a witness to him and others.I recommend you go and see it. How important it is that we as christian go and see these movies. Of course this was based off of a book but it goes along with the Bible also.

To switch hats we are getting ready for our busy season of Christmas. There is much to go out and we need your prayers and support. It is hard to believe that Christmas is right around the corner. All the stores you go into you see trees and decorations and hear the christmas music. They seem to rush right over Thanskgiving.

Well, that is it for now. I will be back in a few days.

Last Friday night I went to see the movie "Facing the Giants" with my family. If you have not seen this movie I recommend that you go. One of the executive producers, David Nixon, our family knows personally. He also is in the movie along with some of his kids. This was a low budget film but so far it has made close to 3 million. It's a story about a small christian high school football team and the struggles they faced and also the struggles that the coach and his family faced. Throughout the movie it presented the gospel so well and it was a film that just goes to show that everybody will face trials no matter what but the Lord will bring you through them if you are faithful to Him.

Most of the actors never acted before. They were from a church down in Georgia. They did an excellent job for being the first time they acted. Not only did this movie come out in 400 theatres but there are more to come like the Nativity Story and the story of Esther.

I hope that you will pass this info. on to your friends and family to see good wholesome christian films. We need to support more of these films.

Today my mom and dad are going to be featured on the Daystar network. Daystar is one of the networks that our program is seen on throughout the country. They are going to be talking about our program and the different outlets that we have such as radio, tv and the internet. You can watch this on the internet of if you get the Daystar network.

On another note I thought I would talk about some shows that are out that I really like. One is "Lost". I don't know if you have seen it but it is a very fascinating show. This year is season three. The background is about a plane that crashes and the stories of the people who survive. But, you add in stories of other people they come across and weird things happening on the island. I will not give much away, but last night three of the characters were taken at the end of last season and are in different cages trapped. At the beginning of the show it showed this compound where the "other people" are living. We don't know where our three main characters are really and what will happen to them. We also don't know how these other people know so much about our trapped characters. It is a different twist to this season and who knows where it will go. I will keep you updated but if you don't want to know you better not read my blogs.

I am sure that many of you saw where there was another shooting in an amish school in PA. It seems to be overwhelming the school shootings that have happened recently.

I remember when Columbine happened. I was in college and I remember seeing the students running out of the building with their hands behind their head. Out of that terrible tragedy came many wonderful testimonies and stories. One was of Cassie Burnell who when asked if she believed in God said yes and was shot instantly. The more I thought about that the more I wandered what I would do in that situation and without a doubt I would have said yes too. I wandered what went through her head at that moment. Was she scared? Did she know she would be killed? Did she know that in a few seconds she would be with her Lord? Did she think about her family and maybe what was said that morning? Questions I know I would have thought and more.

I never had to worry in school about someone coming in and shooting. It is such a different day that we are living in and where innocent lives are being taken. My heart goes out to the families and especially to the amish families that have lost children.
