Courageous

  

Our church is showing the movie “Courageous” next Sunday night, January 29,  at 6:00 p.m. We will be serving sandwiches, chips, and drinks at 5:00 p.m. There is no charge. Derek and I have been very excited about this for several weeks now. We saw the movie in theatres and it is a movie that changed our lives. I know it will change the lives of anyone who sees it.

Here is my opinion of the movie for what it’s worth. I have been asked several times if “Courageous” is a movie that women would enjoy and the answer to that is ABSOLUTELY. It changed the way I parent Deacon and made me more aware of what the bible says about child rearing. It also helped me realize things I could do to support Derek in his role as man of our home. It’s a tough job that I’m glad I don’t have but I can definitely pray for him and give him the support he needs. Lastly, the most important job I will have on this earth is to raise Deacon to be a “Man of Courage.” I’m not going to lie that seems like an overwhelmingly daunting task that has been given to us. This precious little boy who loves to shout “NO” and “MINE” will someday be in charge of a family of his own. It will be his responsibility to lead his family through the trials and tribulations of life. He will have the task of teaching his children about God all while loving their mother and providing for their needs. I can tell you it won’t be easy which is why we need to do everything we can now to prepare him for this role.  

The song “Courageous” is hands down my favorite song right now. I love to hear the guys and Kristi practice it at church and I know you will be blessed if you join us on the 29th so you can hear it too. This movie has the chance to change your life. It doesn’t matter what your religious affiliation is-this movie is for everyone. It would be our honor to have you join us at Calvert City United Methodist for this film. You will be so glad you did!
