Fireproof

I’d be upfront and say
that I’m not one for religion –based shows
i usually find myself bored or turned away
as sometimes the religious shows can be overbearing
but this show managed to capture my attention throughout
and i actually enjoyed the Christian message behind it

it tells of a married couple,
a fireman and his wife 
who fights so often
that it has led to talks of divorce
so,in efforts to save his marriage
he takes up his father’s 40-day “love dare
which requires him to go the extra mile for his wife
doing little sweet gestures everyday
while trying to maintain his composure
especially despite his wife’s ignorance of it all

along the way, he finds the true meaning of marriage
one that sustains all odds if lifted up to God

despite its Christian meaning
and despite it revolving around a married couple
this show is for all
Christian or not
married or not

as it reminds us that
its the littlest most insignificant things in life
that makes the biggest most significant changes

The Ron Clark Story

i had to watch this movie
for my EduPsych class

the story was unbelievably inspiring!
takes hold of your heart
and makes you want to make a change

the story was very fast-paced
so much plot,within so little screen time
yet it didn't feel cramped
the flow was so good
that you didn't realize how time passed

tells of a teacher
who volunteers to teach a troubled class
and his out of the ordinary ways of teaching
a story guaranteed to tug your heart strings
make you laugh, cry and scream in frustration

its people like this
who inspire me to be a teacher

highly recommendable!! Grab a copy today!!
