The Butterfly Circus

 

The greater the struggle, the more glorious the triumph.”

-Mendez

The Butterfly Circus is a 20 minute short film, dreamed up and directed by a husband and wife duo. They truly did a great job, as evidenced by the film’s numerous awards and the fact that the film is now in the process of becoming a major motion picture. The story is set in the Great Depression, when roaming circuses and sideshows featuring “freaks of nature” were commonplace. Amidst a business that aims to exploit human beings for profit comes the Butterfly Circus, led by showman Mendez. They “run a different show”, a show that honors its performers and inspires the audience.

Our family has probably watched it at least 4 or 5 times, because we keep showing it to friends and families that come over for dinner. The story is truly inspiring, and analogies between Mendez and our Heavenly Father are clear.

If you haven’t seen the short film, I encourage you to watch it online!

How to Get the RIGHT Guy

With Valentine’s Day coming up I seem to be running into a lot of things that relate the “Love Waits” theme.

This guy has some good words. Check out his other videos, too!

Jubilee Project: ‘Awww’ Videos

Thinking of Valentine’s Day made me think of these videos.

 

These videos are cute and make me smile. Hope they make you smile too!

 

True Love Waits: Valentine’s Day Project

Valentine’s Day is approaching, and one of my friends has asked for help with a project that I think sounds simply amazing. Check out the details here.

Valentine’s Day has always been a rather boring holiday to me, since it’s just a bunch of hearts painted on shop windows and candy – and an opportunity for married folk to flood the restaurants. But this holiday can be redeemed, and meaningful – before you’re married!

I encourage you to read StoryGirl’s idea and consider becoming a part of her project. Reclaim this holiday, singles, as a day to remember and pray for the one you are waiting for. Until God’s timing.

Almost (saved)

These poets are amazing – God’s truth is in their works. I hope these Godly poems will become a “fad” that spreads – and that we will see more of them in the future!.

Before the Throne

 

 

Just start the song and listen to to lyrics while you continue your browsing.

Whales & Stars

How cool is this?? Makes me wonder what God hears, if He can hear every spinning star, every sound…

 

“I Will Wait For You”

What a wonderful poem – this woman sums it up so well.

Wow.
