FIREPROOF--A Movie Review

Vicki and I have just finished watching the movie, FIREPROOF. We had been waiting impatiently for this movie to come out on DVD, which it did today. It is a wonderful movie, that was produced by the Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, GA.

For those who are not familiar with this church, they started a new ministry, Sherwood Pictures, several years back and began making inspirational and spiritual films. Their first production, FLYWHEEL, was a moderately successful film in the state of GA. Their second film, FACING THE GIANTS, was about the coach of a high school football team and their season. This second effort of Sherwood Pictures gained national success. Vicki and I highly recommend both of these movies, both for their spiritual value as well as their entertainment value.

FIREPROOF centers around a young couple whose marriage is on the rocks. The lead character, a fire department station captain is played by Kirk Cameron, whom you may remember from the popular television show GROWING PAINS, which starred Alan Thicke. Kirk is a very devout Christian and he volunteered to bring his experience to this latest project as the star of the movie. Again, both from a spiritual and an entertainment angle, this movie was excellent and well worth watching, probably more than once.

I can only tell you that it has opened my eyes to some things in my own marriage which I wish I had done differently and which I will be attempting to do differently from now on. I would certainly recommend that ALL my children check this movie out and watch it with their husband, wife, fiance, etc. If you need to borrow a copy of the movie, I have two.

Love to you all and God bless. I am going to bed now.

Dear Family, It's so good to see that more of us are using the site! Keep up the good work! I am enjoying.... yes, enjoying!!!!... the process of reorganizing my office! I know, I know... it has been a disaster for a long time, but I am REALLY dedicated to cleaning up and cleaning out... 4 large trash bags so far. One of the nicest parts of doing this is coming across notes, pictures, articles from the past which evoke many happy memories as well as a few poignant ones. I have located all my camera equipment on the table to the right of the computer and in the lovely empty corner next to the bookcase, I am going put either a chaise lounge or a comfy chair with footstool. I spend a lot of time in here and I decided it needs to look nicer and be a more pleasant place. I know you will all agree!
Our show at Northeastern is coming along very well. I hope some of you can come and see it. It is February 27,28, and March 1... "Little Shop of Horrors." This involves a HUGE plant... very HUGE... which grows only by eating blood... human blood. Doesn't sound very musical, does it? Thus show was produced in the 60's and has a large cult following... great r and r tunes. We rented the plant ... actually 5 plants .... in various stages of growth from tiny to gigantic.. from Millersille U. The fully grown version involves having a kid inside to manipulate
its movements... it actually devours several people before your very eyes... and another kid to be the voice... oh, yes, it talks too! If any of you can come, please let me know so I can secure good seats for you.
I lost another two pounds... total of 14 now and I'm feeling great! So proud of you... Abby, Vicki, Brian, Gary and Deb ...for hitting the healthy trail too. We'll be known as that "skinny Sutton family!"" Love you all, Grandma

Our first blog!!!

Since everyone in the family is joining the blogging world Tiffany and I decided to jump on board, and let you all know what is going on with our life and with how our trip to Florida went. Well as you all already know I proposed to Tiffany on Christmas. Well here is exactly what happened we had to wait til christmas night to exchange gifts since Tiffany's father had to work. Once all the gifts were exchanged and the room was cleaned up everyone gathered around. I sat next to Tiffany and told her "since we have been dating for 19 months now and each month has been more wonderful that the month before and that I cannot see my life without you," I then paused and got on one knee and opened the ring box and asked if she would marry me. Tiffany did not answer right away due to her tears coming down her face but she got out a yes just barely. I placed the ring on her finger and then we kissed. Then of course she showed off the ring.

The trip was a major blast for both of us, we got to spend lots of time with Tiffany's family and especially her sister Elizabeth. We went to the Jacksonville Zoo where we got to see both the Nebraska Huskers' Football team and Clemson Tiger's Football team. We of course saw all the amazing animals including many large cats no tigers though :( on the other hand there were wolves :) and for Tiffany the Giant Sea Otters which she loves and refused to leave the zoo until she saw them. The weather the entire trip was beautiful. We had almost no rain while we were down there. We also went to the beach and had lots of fun there and did many other fun family activites.

When we did return from our great trip and finally made it back to farmville we had a lot of work to do before I started classes but then Tiffany and I came down with the Stomach bug and for 4 days we were both Miserable and in Hell. I am really enjoying my classes this semester and working hard with Habitat for Humanity. Tiffany is still looking for a job but with the economy the way it is it is hard to find a job anywhere. Other than that all is well. We hope all is well with everyone. Oh and one last minor note Tiffany has wedding fever but she is enjoying herself with it all.

Love,

Tiffany and Scott

CORRECTION

In my entry of January 17, concerning hibernation, I have been advised that the pictured animal is NOT a hibernating bear cub, but is in fact a sleeping Nittany Lion cub, who is all shagged out from watching reruns of Penn State Football Games from this past season.

My apologies to all concerned.
