Top Ten Tuesday

I am thinking about the garden this week and making our list of things that we need to do.

  1. We need to clean up the toys in the backyard.
  2. We need to pull out the seed bin and decide what veggies we want to plant in the backyard.
  3. We need to get some compost to fill in the garden plots. Some how the dirt seems to disappear every year.
  4. We need to plant new grass seed to fill in the mud pit.
  5. We need to get a worm bin (scroll down). I have wanted one for several years now.
  6. We need to weed the front yard.
  7. We need to add some compost to the front garden.
  8. We need to decide which flowers to plant in the front yard.
  9. We need to find some fun things to add to the garden. Does anyone have any free or cheap ideas?
  10. We also need to get a sand and water table for the twins.

Movie Review – Rust

James was a pastor and he came to a place where God was silent and he couldn't accept that, so he walked away from his faith for a time.

He returns to his home town and discovers that a family new to the area had been killed in a fire. Travis, a friend, from his childhood was accused of setting the fire and James knows that he is innocent and sets out to prove it.

His home town has changed and he needs to unravel the truth that will set the town and himself free.  While James works diligently to to find the truth, he eventually finds his way back to his relationship with God.

This movie was slow to start, but overall it was a good movie that my husband and I really enjoyed. We thought it was well done. We do not recommended it for young children or even preteens due to some of the more mature content.

If you want to learn more about this movie, you can check out the website or their facebook page.

The Way Home

Randy is supposed to be helping his family get ready to go on a camping trip. Christal thought he was packing the van, but he ducked inside their home to check his work email. It was during this very short time that their 2 year old son Joe disappeared from their driveway.

Christal and Randy check the neighbourhood and Grandma calls her church prayer chain and practically everyone she knows. People from the neighbourhood start pouring in to help search for little 2 year old Joe.

The family lives in a forested area with many areas for him to be hiding and many dangerous areas where he could have gotten hurt. I am not going to spoil the ending, but I will tell you that Randy comes out a changed man.

This movie, which is based on a true story, is every mother's worst nightmare played out. It is a real tear jerker so have your tissues handy. The movie was really good and reminded my husband and I to consider again the things that are really important to us. We highly recommend this movie.

~So what is really important to you? What really matters? ~
