Two Great Family Movies

Another early Saturday morning in front of the computer
when I should be sleeping. This time it wasn't the dogs
that woke me up. I guess I am turning in to my
grandfather. He was up at the crack of dawn no matter what.

We had family night with our youth group last night. It
was movie night and we ended up watching "Evan Almighty".
I never wanted to see it when it was in the theatre
because I thought it was going to be slanderous. I just
don't care for movies that make fun of the Bible. But,
after watching it, I will admit that I shouldn't have
judged it based on the name. It was a very good movie.


Of course, there were the obvious problems with the movie.
The Bible teaches that no man has seen the face of God.
Evan got plenty of opportunities to not only see him, but
talk to him face to face. But, I'm not going to pick the
movie apart. It actually had a good story with values that
all of us could learn to live by.

Another great family movie that I saw lately was
called "The Ultimate Gift". If you are looking for
something that you can watch with your family, this is the
movie. No bad language, no sex scenes, and the story was
both funny and touching. I think it was one of the best
movies that I have ever seen.
