Reviews: Fireproof and Third Day

So it's been an insanely busy weekend and I think it'll take me all week of normality to detox. Saturday we went with the couples in our church to see the movie Fireproof. I will be honest enough to admit that I didn't expect much, being that it was a Christian produced movie. I was wrong. Kirk Cameron held the movie up and it had some genuinely funny moments, some intensely sad moments, and we all left the theater feeling convicted and dedicated to our marriages. It was a warm fuzzy all around, so I highly recommend the movie, even if you don't do the accompanying marriage seminar.

Sunday we took the youth group out to see some really incredible Christian bands on the Music Builds Tour. It was totally awesome, insanely fun, and incredibly long. It was a festival-style concert, so there were four bands playing: Robert Randolph and the Family Band, Jars of Clay, Switchfoot, and Third Day. All headliners in their own right, so it was pretty packed with start power. I think the concert lasted four and a half hours, which was certainly longer than I expected. Needless to say, we all has a fun time last night, and I bet all the youth are having a rough time getting up for school this morning. Ahhh, the joys of youth group.
