Memories of Christmas 2008

10:13 AM mixagrip

Oh, I can't hardly believe it is December 30 already! Where did the Christmas Season go? Christmas is my most, most, most... Favorite Time of the Year... and so quickly it has slipped away.What a precious time it was... I cherish the day and time spent with family.Our tradition is for us all to get ready in the morning, we still wear our jammies, though... have breakfast together, read the Christmas story from the Bible, Luke 2... , then open Christmas presents one by one! It's a wonderful family time. We are so blessed. We took lots of pictures and I cherish them!I hope you all have precious memories of this Christmas and Christmases that have passed!--------------------------------------------Luke 2The Birth of Jesus 1 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be...

It's Almost Christmas!

8:35 AM mixagrip

It's almost Christmas!!! I love the Spirit we feel, even more so than ever.. at this time of year. It is indeed the Most Wonderful Time of the Year... where we celebrate the Christ Child's Birth and gather with family, friends, and loved ones!We give each other "special meaningful gifts" and "silly" and sometimes... "thank goodness its returnable" gifts, too... but the best Gift of all was born in a manger thousands of years ago... "a Savior, which is Christ the Lord!"If you are looking for the true meaning of this Season and Life, as well... then please click here to read the Christmas Story.Last night we baked Christmas Sugar-Cookies and watched Christmas Movies on TV. Oh, how I love the smell of nutmeg and a warm cookie and milk.Merry CHRISTmas and God Bless Us, Everyone!Net Movie Blog...

Happy Thanksgiving to You and Yours!!!I hope you are able to share this day with your family and those you love!I'll leave you with the words to one of my favorite Thanksgiving songs...God bless you all!"We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing;He chastens and hastens his will to make known;The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing:Sing praises to his Name; he forgets not his own.Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,Ordaining, maintaining his kingdom divine;So from the beginning the fight we were winning:Thou, Lord, wast at our side: all glory be thine!We all do extol thee, thou Leader triumphant,And pray that thou still our Defender wilt be.Let thy congregation escape tribulation:Thy Name be ever praised!

John McCain - American Hero

11:58 AM mixagrip

John McCain was a Prisoner of War for 5 and a half years during the Vietnam War. He is an American Hero. He loves this Country and has alway placed it first! That's why McCain is the right man to be our next President.I cry when I think about the horrors they endured in Hanoi. Please Watch this recount of his POW days by his cellmate and one of the most decorated war veterans, Bud D...


Barack Obama does not place hand on heart during National Anthem

11:23 AM mixagrip

Here is the video of Obama - not placing his hand over his heart during the National Anthem. I think it is very concerning - especially when you can see his connections with others (even former terrorists) who are very Anti-American.I saw this event live on C-Span when it first happened. I know it is true.It's evident by those standing next to Obama... that this is how we Americans respect the song and our country when our Anthem is played. We don't make up our own rules. We honor the flag, our troops, and America according to the standards and traditions that we are taught as children. You rise, remove your hat, act reverently, and place your hand on your heart!Obviously, when Obama was growing up in Indonesia they didn't teach him th...

Today, I'm veering off of the usual subject of Family Movies. Even though, I just updated the Christmas TV Schedule, I'm not going to discuss that today.I'm very excited to share with you all... that I attended a Sarah Palin Rally and it was wonderful! I went with my family and just had the best time. We wore red to show our support- to make our state stay RED! Sarah's message rang out loud and clear and I am proud to be a McCain Palin Supporter... a true Conservative.I met wonderful kind people at the rally and was able to wave outside, alongside my family, as her motorcade went by - about 10 feet away! It was an awesome moment... a part of...

Fireproof

7:46 AM mixagrip

I was so blessed by the Behind the Scenes Making of Fiireproof, which aired late last week on TBN. What an amazing Christian atmosphere went into making this movie... why it is certainly more than just a movie - it's a ministry.The movie stars Kirk Cameron... a favorite actor of mine going back to his days as Mike Seaver on Growing Pains. I have enjoyed following his career and life story. The Way of the Master Program that he and Ray Comfort have developed together is a powerful and amazing tool to lead non-believers to Christ. It was so interesting to see all the details that went into making the movie... in the Behind the Scenes Making of...

Fireworks & Christmas Movies in July

8:58 AM mixagrip

I've never really cared for the label... "Christmas in July". To me, Christmas is strictly in December, with the cold and the snow... the hustle and bustle, and the celebration centering around the Christ Child's birth. I love that Special time of year, and I love July, as well.... but July is wonderful in it's own right.The Fourth of July is a grand event. It makes you think of freedom, our Troops who fight for us today, our heroic Veterans, fireworks, picnics, strolls through the park, outdoor games, and lots of fond family memories!There are some Fun Family 4th of July Shows airing on TV, including:July 3rd, 2008 ThursdayChicago's Summer Blast: Fireworks & the Taste of Chicago WGN 10 PMJuly 4th, 2008 FridayCapitol Fourth PBS 8 PM (check local)4th of July Live!

Favorite Wedding DVD's

I wanted to share my favorite Wedding DVD's that are currently featured on my web-site...Father of the BrideWedding DazeThe Waltons Season 5 (featuring Mary Ellen's Wedding)I love all of these Wedding Shows. First of all, Steve Martin portrays the best Father of the Bride... who wants to protect his daughter and his wallet! He is protective, caring, emotional, funny, and so sweet! I fall in love with this movie every time I see it. I even heard that First Lady Mrs. Bush gave this dvd to President Bush to watch before their daughter, Jenna's wedding.Wedding Daze carries on in the same sort of tradition of Father of the Bride.

Camp Rock - Movie Review

8:33 PM mixagrip

Camp Rock was a decent and somewhat cheesy, but fun movie for young children and pre-teens. No worries about any language, or any other inappropriate behavior - which I have to admit is refreshing in today's age.It's definitely a movie the family can watch together. The DVD says NR (Not Rated) but I think it is pretty safe to say that it is very "G". I'm not sure if it will hold the interest of much younger viewers between Musical Scores, but it's a safe bet that many kids will love hearing and seeing the Jonas Brothers.So.... should you SEE IT? or SKIP IT? I Vote SEE IT!Click Here to check out Camp Rock on DVD.Til Next Time.... God bless, Net Movie Blog...

The Movie stars Alyson Stoner, who has done a lot of work for the Disney Channel... she was the tom boy, Sarah Baker, in the Cheaper by the Dozen movies and she played Max, a friend of the Sprouse Twins, on the Suite Life of Zack & Cody... and she has done lots of other work and voice-overs. The main stars of the film are the Jonas Brothers, (who are already well known from their Music Videos, CDs, and guest appearance on Hannah Montana) pictured to the left, Nick, Joe, and Kevin Jonas.... and...

Introduction-This is my first post for this Blog.
