A movie for Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all dads, grandfathers, godfathers, and priests. The movie Courageous deals with the role of fathers and what God requires of them. It is the best movie so far by the company who brought us Fire Proof and Facing the Giants. If you have not seen it, rent it to watch with your father as you celebrate him today.
Have a blessed day, Nina

Recent Reads

Two books that I have read recently that I really enjoyed were Trauma Plan by Candace Calvert and Cherished by Kimberly Cash Tate.  Trauma Plan is the first in a new series and I liked it a lot better than her previous series as it focuses more on the characters as well as a mystery surrounding the daily events that begs to be solved. Cherished focuses on two women who have had a lot of anguish in their lives that can be traced to mistakes they made in their search for love that only God can provide. It also reminds me of the movie 16 Blocks. it carries the same message that people can change with the added benefit of God's mercy and our need to forgive others. It is a constant reminder that no sin is bigger than others and we all need God's mercy. That is why I really like being a Catholic, the sacrament of confession. We experience God's mercy in a tangible way in this sacrament.
