Jon and I had the opportunity to see the movie Courageous this afternoon. Now I understand that when one's favorite movies include "Cool Runnings" and "Facing the Giants", that one loses a bit of credibility. However, forget that and understand that Courageous is TRULY a movie worth seeing!! Jon, who proclaims to not like lame movies, also agrees that Courageous is a great movie. He used the words "well done" and "refreshing" to describe it. (Being a cop, he couldn't help but pick apart some of their police chases/fights, but hey...that wasn't the point of the movie.) So...my final plug...plan to go see Courageous if you haven't to support this fine film! We give it two (or four) thumbs up!
A plug also goes to my mother-in-law (a.k.a. Grammy) for providing baby-sitting so we could go see the show. She faithfully baby-sits each week, and it's a definite blessing to have her help.
After seeing a movie about fathers, I have to salute my dad who always went (and still goes) the extra mile. He was very active in my life and has had a huge impact on it. He and my mom were the parents that were always at my sporting events, home or away. They were the parents who bought rollerblades with me when I took up a sudden interest in rollerblading. They were the parents who spent quality time with us each day. I'm thankful to have a Courageous-type father!
And last, but certainly not least, a plug for my husband. Jon is such a great dad to Scott and Natalie. It is SOOO fun to watch him interact with them and teach them new things. It is special to listen in on the conversations he has with Scott. It is sweet to see Natalie run up to him and wave repeatedly whenever he puts on his police uniform. It is neat to see how both kids respond so favorably to him. Jon loves the kids immensely and wants the best for their future. It shows. I love my husband so much am grateful that he is a Courageous-type father to my kiddos.
Go see the movie!! :)
