1-28-12: Song-filled Saturdays

Y'all don't know how excited I am this week to share this song with you!!!!!!!
This weeks tune is by this newish band, Kingston. They were formally known as the Carter Twins, but have since changed their name, and sound slightly, but they are still a country band :D
   I came across them back in November, after hearing a Christmas song of theirs, but couldn't find any of their music on itunes, other than that song :(. To be honest, I kinda-sorta forgot about them until earlier this week, thinking "I haven't checked to see if they've released any new music yet... hmmm". So, I went to their youtube page, and sure enough!!! There it was, I may have inwardly screamed as I saw it, their new song!!!
So enough of my babbling, here it is!!

Song: Dear Someone
Artist: Kingston
Genre: Country
Favorite Lyrics: "I heard it in a song somewhere, you just can't hurry love, but baby if you're out there would you please just hurry up"

Why I Love This Song: There are so many reasons I love this song, and why you should too! lol It is fun, but sensitive, and totally sweet. Can't you imagine this being written out as a letter for your future spouse?? I give it a 5/5 stars.

Such a sweet verse, don't you think?

1-25-12: Wordless Wednesdays - A little sunshine in this snow

1-24-12:The Random Tuesdays

Hey, hey!!

Okay, the the title kinda sucks, I know, but I honestly couldn't come up with anything better :(
So, I'll explain...
Every Tuesday I can, I'll be posting something random. Maybe a funny and/or meaningful video, a quote I enjoyed, a favorite recipe, ect. The only thing I won't ever post on Tuesdays is something covered in one of my other categories. (Movie Mondays, Wordless Wednesdays, Thoughtful Thursdays, Fashion Fridays & Song-filled Saturdays)
   SOOO, this week's Random is...(Drum roll)



A funny video!
   A friend of mine shared this in facebook, and I loved it! This guy is incredible, and I suggest you view his other videos too. Being homeschooled, I really connected to this vid, but every one he's posted I've loved. :)

Have a great week!

1-23-12: Movie Mondays - Courageous

Hello my lovely followers!!
For the first Movie Monday, I'm going to share my thoughts on one of my new favorites...

Courageous!
Back in October, I went and saw this movie with one of my best friends, and it was incredible! I almost cried... and I don't cry for movies.
The amazing story of four fathers in four different stages of lives, isn't just for dads as some may think. It is a family movie, even with its PG-13 rating.
The makers are the same from previous titles, Flywheel, Facing the Giants, and Fireproof, so going into the theater, I'll admit, I set my expectations high. Facing the Giants is one of my all-time favorite movies, and so is Fireproof. As my friend and I took our seats in the crowded theater, I prepared myself, trying to keep my expectations on a normal level, but at the same time practically bouncing in my seat for what I hoped would be the movie of the year. At least for me ;) .
After about half an hour of credits, the movie finally rolled, and I was sucked in. The story was incredibly written, and for actors, who weren't all professionals, this movie was extremely well-made.
But beyond that, I was really touched. It was obvious God had a hand in this film, and it deserved my 6.50 Matinee ticket purchase.

Why should you see it: Why shouldn't you? If you want a heart-felt, God centered movie, this is it, people! Sherwood Pictures is so, so talented, and it is very clear that God truly has a hand in everything they do. As for the story, all I can say without spoiling much, is this: Incredible!!

Why you shouldn't see it: Well, unlike the other three films, this movie does have a higher rating. But, the only reason for that is that the four main characters are all cops, so there are a few violent scenes. No foul language, and no suggestive material.

My rating: It was given a PG-13, but for me, I'd rate it AA10+, for All Ages 10 and up. And, it gets 5 stars :D

Since it is finally out on DVD, there is no excuse people! Go rent/buy Courageous!!!
