Don’t be afraid to venture beyond the first piece of advice offered to you, whether from a professional or amateur opinionist. You are the one who has the best view of your situation and sometimes someone, well-meaning or not, has limited resources in which to draw from and perhaps even an agenda to insert.

This is the real deal, the new Star Wars preview. I’m looking forward to next December!

I realize this is the third video in a row that I’ve posted and also that I posted it on Facebook already, but I am still wowed by this singer delivering a powerful version of CeCe Winans’ “Alabaster Box” and receiving a standing ovation from all judges and the audience.

 On the heels of yesterday’s Noah preview, here’s another faith-based film coming to the big screen—Heaven Is For Real, starring Greg Kinnear. Looks like a very well done, faith and life-affirming movie. I’m looking forward to it! Read more
