FIREPROOF Movie Premier at the Fox Theater

Wow! What an event! We went to the Fireproof movie premier at the Fox Theater last Friday night with Tony and Susan, and we had such a good time. Tony works for Chick-fil-A, so we were honored to be their guests at the VIP reception before the movie. The picture of the ice sculpture doesn't do it justice- it was beautiful. Of course, the best part of the evening for me (other than spending a night out with my husband and great friends, of course!) was meeting Kirk Cameron- actually getting our picture made with him. He was much skinnier than I imagined, but still quite cute- he obviously looks a little older, but not a whole lot of change since the days of Growing Pains- my favorite show when I was a pre-teen. His testimony is just awesome, though. He wouldn't pose for a picture with a single female- it had to be with another person or a group- he has that much integrity! I, actually, would not have thought about it, but to hear him speak, you can just tell that he wants all of his words and actions to honor his Savior, Jesus Christ.

As for the movie- it exceeded my expectations. It is from the creators of "Facing the Giants," a movie created by a church in Albany, GA. However, Sony pictures and others got behind this, contributing the much needed funds to make it quite the production. It is such a relevant movie for the state of marriages these days. Anyone who is married MUST go see this movie. I was either crying or laughing the entire time. It was just very well done, and I know the Lord will bless it in our country, especially if we, as Christians, support it by going to see it opening weekend, Sept. 26. They say the movie is only as good as it's opening weekend, so make plans to go!!!
