No Limbs To No Limits (Video Presentation)

Have you heard this one before: "I cried because I had no shoes, and then I met a man who had no feet."  Well, how about a man who has not arms and no legs?

I cannot imagine how defeating such a thing could be...Can you?  What would it be like?
This film reminded me once more that with God all things are possible.... aren't they?  It made me so happy and so blessed to know the man featured in this film is my brother in the Lord.

This is a film I bought this weekend at Amber's store in Spokane and it was in my opinion a fantastic find.  I want to buy copies to give to people I know because I think it is so inspiring.  It is about a man  named Nick Vujici.  He is that man with no arms or legs, however, he does have a part of a foot.

I have seen Nick before on You Tube, but it was only a short segment, so I kinda knew a little about him, and was happy to get the video and learn more about him.  I enjoyed the fact that he tells his audiences truth, about himself about his live and most importantly about God.  All I can tellyou if you do not know who he is is that he is one amazing human being.  He really is quite and inspiration.


 The inspirational message he gives at the beginning of this film appears to have been done at a high school assembly and I thought it was quite powerful.  I can only imgine the impact he has on people as he preaches about JEsus Christ around the world.

I stopped at a friends house on my way home after I bought one of his films at the store and then watched it with my friend.  (I watched it a second time today at home.)  The first time watching this film with my friend was great because she has a handicapped son, who watched part of it with us, and it ministered to all of us in some very special ways.  I highly recommend taking encouragement from this brother in the Lord!

Inkheart (Movie)

Have you read the book?  I have not, and I am a little curious as to if it is like the movie; how it compares.  I have seen the book out for a while and the movie too, but never really knew much about the story except that the characters come to life from story books.  In the world of weird, this seemed to be a bit so, but the concept intrigues me, and I do like creative things.  This seemed pretty creative to me... and Over time, seeing this over and over and over, I finally decided there were a lot of good reason to watch the film, so I did.

My personal "good" reasons to watch it were:
Intriguing concept and storyline
I kinda like science fiction... fantasy at times,
We bought a new TV recently and need to use it...
The movie is geared towards kids and I was wondering why I have not heard oodles of stuff about it.
Lots of kids and teens have seen it and I thought it would be interesting to see what message it has for audiences.

Well that is just a few I guess, but enough for me...
I thought the movie was pretty scary in the the beginning.  The bad guys looked stereotypically bad, like they about to do VERY bad things, and they were not very nice... but because they didn't actually kill anyone they threatened to, they seemed a bit like they were more bark than bite. 

I liked the fact that the goal of the film was to reunit the family that had been split up do to this problem of people popping out of books.  The love element and family element was keen.

I enjoyed the special effects and I thought the whole thing was rather creative.  When thinking about the movie after watching it, the word used to describe it was Interesting.  It was an interesting film.

One of the mmost interesting things is the obvious references to God, and creators...
and destiny being written and changed or altered. 

Interesting.


To get more details for your own viewing you might want to get some second opinions from others people.  One source that you may find helpful in determining if this is or is not for you is the Inkheart review, at Focus on the Family.  I didn't look at this before I watched this film, but I did afterwards, just to see what they had to say.

Don't Eat the Daisies (Movie)

This movie was made in 1960 and starred Doris Day and I had never watched it before.  I thought it was a funny film and enjoyed watching it late at night by myself when no one else was home. It was not a fantastic film or anything like that, but certainly it is cultural and had "family values" protrayed in it, which I appreciated.

See a Clip from this film.

I choose it because a long time ago I had gone to see a play that I really liked and someone told me it was based on this film, I never say this movie and now thirty years later after seeing it,"I a not so sure it was at all like the play I remembered seeing.

Plase dont Eat The Daisy's was about a man and his wife who live in New York and dream of living in the country.  They live in an apartment while he works as a drama critic writing reviews of show.  You see the two portrayed as a loving couple trying to survive life in the trendy Hollywood/Broadway scene.  As a critic he gets a little outspoken becomes a little famous and the next thing you know he wants to stay close to the excitment, meanwhile mom and wife still want to move to the counrty and finds herself moving and trying to hang on to their marriage and family life, and this with a family of 4 very busy boys and big baby dog.  I read somewhere that is was a book before it as a movie. After it made it big as a movie, it was a television series.

Doris Day was really cute and I thought it interesting that she was so popular film star.  She is  in her day.  I really do not know too much about her except that since she was born in 1922 she would be about 88 year old now.  She is still alive and lives in CA.

Having watched a few older movies of late, mostly Fred Astair dancing films, I think it is interesting how the goal of the characters in so many films was being a "star."  Many of the themse are built around show business. I really like the old dancing movies.  One of my favorites is Royal Wedding.

Back tot his movie review, I never really understood the title, though I do know that the line was in the film.   Any insight?
