Christian Movie Review: I Am Legend
October 31, 2008
Let me start by saying that I love Will Smith. I think he makes great movies. Unfortunately, I Am Legend ticked me off more than anything. LOL!
Do not get me wrong, it has action, drama, hero essence and even a little romance. I guess the part that annoyed me was the predictability. I could literally guess what was going to happen and many of the wowzer scenes were not so wow for me…maybe I am having flashbacks from when my Mother used to force me to watch horror films….hmm…
Either way, here are some things you may want to know…
On a positive note there were no major sex or language issues in I Am Legend. However, there is a LOT of violence that may not be suitable for younger viewers. I know it “says” PG-13. However, when my daughter was 13, I would not have let her see it. She was almost 15 and still covered her eyes quite a bit.
As with any Hollywood film, God is non existent or cast in a not so flattering light…except for one scene where the female lead “defends” God to Will’s character. That was positive.
In closing, I Am Legend has some pretty dark moments. However, it is not all bad and for those who like this type of film it leans on the clean side of the spectrum. I give I AM Legend 2 out of 4 stars. Man, I am tough! LOL!

Friday Finances: Vote For What’s Right
October 24, 2008
I was trying not to get all political on this blog, but honestly it is a little hard not to when we look at who is running and the many issues facing the new President in 2009.
One thing the Lord has been speaking to my heart a lot lately is that as Christians we are required to vote for what’s right and NOT with our pocket book.
With all the financial news out there it is easy to be tempted for the person who will give you the biggest tax break, but that may not be the same person who stands up for the what’s right, and sometimes it can be difficult to make that decision.
With all the talk that is going on about the financial “crisis” the important things can often get covered up and forgotten about. So I would like to encourage ALL of you to learn about the issues and vote for the person that stands up for what is RIGHT not for the person who will give you the biggest tax break, or who passes on the dream of “spreading the wealth.”
I have a lot to say about this issue but I won’t here. Please feel free to join us on our network to discuss voting for what is right and NOT with our pocket books. Hope to see you there!
