Fireproof
I think God is wanting me to give my marriage some intentional thought.

Art and I have a good marriage. It is comfortable and stable. If I held my marriage up to a checklist, we would get a passing grade on all accounts.

But the stresses and strains of daily life with many blessings can sometimes dig ruts in even the most solid of relationships. It's not the big things that knock us off kilter. It is the accumulation of lots of little things tumbling upon us in a very constant way.

Again, we have a great relationship. But, it is oh so easy to slip into a drifting phase where we start operating more like business partners than husband and wife.

Well, last night we went to a movie screening that seriously got our attention.

The movie is Fireproof. You can find information about it by clicking here.

When I say this movie is amazing, that word can't possibly contain what we experienced last night. Over popcorn and Milk Duds we found rib aching laughter, heart racing action, truth, and a gut honest reality check.

And we found out the creators of this movie are releasing a 40 day book for couples to work through called "The Love Dare." After seeing the movie, this title will totally make sense to you.

We are so doing this study.

Will you do yourself a favor? Pull out your blackberry, or paper calendar, or PDA, or strawberry... whatever keeps your schedule... and schedule to go see this movie on the weekend of September 26th. Whether you are married or not, the spiritual truths in this flick are rich for every person.

This movie is from the creators of "Facing the Giants." Y'all it is a church in Albany, Georgia that is producing these great films. Talk about getting radically obedient to reach people for Jesus!

I had the privilege to meet the pastor of this church, some of the directors and the guy that starred as the coach in "Facing the Giants" (who happens to be one of the directors/ writers for this project.)

They all have big humongous hearts for Jesus and for His plan for marriage. If you will commit to going to see this movie when it comes out in September, would you leave a comment and let me know? I'd love to be able to participate in some small way to promote this incredible endeavor.

And oh my stars... the main characters are seen with a Chick-fil-A cup and bag. Could it get any better than that?
