The Musings & Life of a Daughter of the King...: Random little post of this and that..... =)

Hello Everyone,

Hope y'all are having a nice Sunday! I'm so enjoying this cold rainy weather. I'm sitting by the fire place right now trying to keep warm. It was nice when doing home church this morning hearing the rain pounding down on the roof so heavily. I love the sounds of thunderstorms--so cozy!

Last night we watched a movie, one we've seen many times before, and one I would highly recommend to you. Some of you may have seen it before... it's called "A Man Called Peter". It's based on a true story, and I'm anxious to read the book as well.

Here are a couple reviews from Amazon I pasted below that tells a bit about it.....
"A Man Called Peter" is an excellent depiction of the true life story of Peter Marshall, an immigrant Scotsman who rose to Chaplain of the U.S. Senate before his untimely death in 1949. Marshall was a real man who served our real God. The movie is very true, generally speakly, to Catherine Marshall's book by the same title. The part of the movie that shows Catherine Marshall's alma mater, Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Georgia, was filmed on location. As a native of Decatur, Georgia, this movie had a huge impact on me. Especially since my mother had actually heard Peter Marshall preach and was greatly affected by his sermons. Peter Marshall's message is ageless and inspiring. Young people who hear or read his sermons today feel as though Marshall is speaking to them just as he did to my mother's generation.

Peter Marshall, a man called by the Lord to be a minister, comes to America to pursue his vision, radically touching the lives of those who hear his preaching, and the heart of Catherine, the young lady who was to become his wife. Gracefully directed, the film leads you through the years of his and Catherine's lives, from dealing with struggling souls and a snobbish old lady at the Church of the Presidents in Washington DC, to their son Peter John's birth, Catherine and later Peter's illness, Peter's ministry as chaplain to the US senate, and, finally, his untimely death. Beautifully filmed, with good acting -- even for the minor roles. Made me laugh at some parts, and almost cry at others, and endeared me to the characters so vividly portrayed. Yes, Dr. Marshall: We'll "see you in the morning."

I hope you will all find a copy of this movie and enjoy watching it with your family. Just be sure you have kleenex with you towards the end--I always cry, it's so sad!

Well, if you've known me on Xanga for any time at all, you'll know that my blogs are more like scrapbooks most of the time, so here are some pictures from my cousin's wedding. I know I'm really late in posting these but here they are none the less!
