Fireproof

This past weekend Chris and I were able to get in a few date nights since my mom and dad were in town we thought we would take advantage of the babysitting. Friday night, Chris and I went to see Jeff Dunham at the BOK Center they built in our town. Chris' boss has a suite there and he was not going to use the tickets so he gave Chris a couple and we decided to go. Jeff Dunham is a ventriloquist comedian. He has a bunch of different puppets that he uses for his show. I had seen him once before with a friend but Chris has never seen him live only on Comedy Central.

The next night on Saturday we had a double date with a couple that we go to church with. We have become good friends and deiced to have a night out. We all wanted to go and see the new movie out called Fireproof. For those who may not have heard about this movie it is a faith based movie about fireproofing your marriage. The movie was written and produced by Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, GA. They have done two other movies before this one. And if you happen to be a Kirk Cameron fan, from the 80's he plays the lead guy in the movie. Honestly though, this movie was the best movie I had seen in a long time. It is a great love story that has drama, comedy and twists. I think Chris may have said it best. He said "when you watch Top Gun it makes you want to fly planes, when you watch Days of Thunder you want to race cars, but when you see Fireproof it makes you want to be a better spouse." That is the true. This movie has such a great message about making your marriage work and how divorce can cause great scars on a person. If you have not seen it I would encourage you to go, even you if you have the best marriage in the world you will still find this inspiring. It is not playing in every movie theater but it is playing in at least one in your town. Every show here has been sold out. We had to get our tickets a few days in advance. I really hope you all try to go and see it if not rent it when it comes out on DVD. Below is a link to a preview of the film.
