Tommy and I finally got some "mommy and daddy" time this weekend. We saw the movie FIREPROOF starring Kirk Cameron (Another blast from the past, the NKOTB reunion tour hit the Cities this last week. Check out the friendly review http://roehls.blogspot.com/2008/10/nkotb.html ) The movie is about a firefighter named Caleb who finds himself on the verge of divorce. There are a couple of corny parts (it's slightly low budget) but there are a few good laughs too. Over all the movie is entertaining and has a AWESOME Christian message. I'm sure that many could relate to struggles the couple faces. There was one argument scene that I realized the theater was completely silent and I was almost holding my breath. (and no, it's not because the theater was empty, it was actually hard to find seats) There were several other scenes I found myself looking away a little because I was relating so well that I was a little ashamed. Anyway, if you don't want to spend $20 to see it in the theater check it out when it hits DVD. It's worth it.

(watch the trailer and PLEASE PASS THIS ON)
Did I mention that it is a little bit of a tear jerker too? Oh and for the guys out there. Tommy liked it too. He did admit he was a little nervous it was going to suck after the first 10 minutes, but it redeemed itself. Or should I say, Christ redeemed it. ;o)

3 cups bulgar wheat (dry)
3 stocks celery, chopped
1 apple, chopped
6-8 green onions, chopped
1 can frozen orange juice concentrate
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 cup oil (something light tasting, like sunflower, NOT olive oil, I just used veggie)
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
salt, pepper, cayenne pepper to taste
These I don't have exact measurements for (guesses):
Craisens (1/2 to ¾ cup chopped)
Sunflower seeds (1/2 cup)
Walnuts (1/2 to ¾ cup chopped)
Parsley (1/4 cup chopped)
I guess you can also add chopped dates or apricots too.
Bring three cups water to a boil then add bulgar wheat and take off heat and let the water absorb fully. Mix everything together.

It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy.

I heard about this movie from a friend and saved it on netflix about two weeks ago. I am so excited that you two were able to see it in the theatre and gave it such great reviews! I can't wait to see it with Carl.

I just got back from watching Fireproof... the over all message was solid for sure; it's great that such a different-flavored movie made it into the regular, big screen.
