The Tiger Rising comes to digital release on February 8, 2022. Based on The New York Times best-selling book by Kate DiCamillo. The film is based in rural Northern Florida. I never thought of Florida as rural or even having a Northern part, it just all seems South to me. But, then Florida is full of nature in the water and woodland.  In this story, there is a tiger living in a cage behind a cute retro looking motel in Florida where 12 year old Rob Horton and his Dad live.  My first thought was ok, where did this tiger come from, does someone care for the animal, and why is the tiger in a cage? I wouldn't feel safe if the tiger was roaming the streets of my town, but I also would feel sad the tiger was in a cage, all alone in the forest.

ROAR LIKE A LION,  90 devotions to a courageous faith I really like books.  Books for children, teens, adults, and those people older than adults...I think that is me now, you know an adult. I mean when you become an adult in your 20's you think you know it all, like all of it.  But then you turn 30, 40, 50 and wow, being an adult is so much more than you thought or even knew was going to happen in your life.  It's like you find this settled peace of mind, you are not afraid, scared, or stray towards sin.  But hey, o wait, that still happens.  In fact, we are moving into a new house soon, it's acres of tress, and wildlife. I am scared. Yes, I did write that, scared of  things that crawl on the ground. It's like that Bible story with Mary and the snake.  On Page 106, there it is. a colorful snake. (but it's still a snake!!!)  On this page is Devotion #49 , SNEAK ATTACK , if you need wisdom, ask God for wisdom. I do not like Snakes. I am terrif...

On March 13, 2020 CHURCH PEOPLE opens in a theater near you. I see some familiar faces in this film, like; Thor Ramsey, Stephen Baldwin, William Baldwin, Donald Faison, and more famous names. Guy is the pastor at a mega church and through his own voice he feels the need to bring passion back to the church, not just the business side of running the church, but the spiritual  side of the church. He looks to bring back the word of God through his ministry, but not exactly in the norms of the church community.  The film looks funny, but with a serious side where this mega church seeks out finding it's calling and renews it's purpose.  Free to you is a Discussion guide on ChurchPeople.com  with five sessions with a clip from the film and how The Gospel is in your life.  Enter the giveaway for your chance to win a digital code for which you can watch the movie at home. a Rafflecopter giveaway   Open to residents of North America 18 and older.
