“Heaven Is For Real” Opens TODAY!!!

Hello World,

I’ve been waiting to see this movie which I think would be a perfect family outing for Easter 🙂

Below is a description of the movie and a trailer….

Based on the #1 New York Times best-selling book of the same name “Heaven Is For Real” brings to the screen the true story of a small-town father who must find the courage and conviction to share his son’s extraordinary, life-changing experience with the world.

“Heaven Is For Real” stars Greg Kinnear as Todd Burpo and co-stars Kelly Reilly as Sonja Burpo, the real-life couple whose son Colton (newcomer Connor Corum) experiences Heaven during emergency surgery. Colton recounts the details of his amazing journey with childlike innocence. He describes Heaven in vivid detail, and speaks matter-of-factly about things that happened before his birth … things he couldn’t possibly know. Todd is called upon by his congregation to explain the meaning of Colton’s revelations, and he and his family are challenged to examine their faith and draw meaning from this remarkable event.

The senior production executive for the movie is DeVon Franklin, senior VP of production at Columbia Pictures, and Bishop T.D. Jakes is one of the film’s producers according to Variety magazine.

How Sexy Can a Christian Wife Be?

Hello World,

I’m chin deep in wedding planning and sometimes I must admit it feels like I’m drowning in it (Pray for me :)) …But every now and then I’ve managed to keep up with the hot topics of the day…So last Sunday (yes, a bit late for this post I know) as I watched the BET Awards, I saw THE DRESS…It was the dress that Actress Meagan Good wore to the star-studded music celebration. For a Hollywood starlet, the dress was sexy, but no more daring than the green Versace dress that J.Lo wore to the GRAMMY Awards in 2000 or even more daring, barely there dress that Toni Braxton wore to the 2001 GRAMMY Awards….But for Ms. Good, who can be known as Mrs. Franklin, wife of Columbia Pictures Executive DeVon Franklin, who is also a minister, the dress was scandalous…And the fact that she wore the dress as she presented the gospel music artist award got many Christians worked up to a lather…

While I’m in interested in what you think about her dress, I thought the discussion about her dress brings to light another more important discussion… How sexy can a Christian wife be? Can a Christian wife even be sexy? It seems that once women (Christian or otherwise) get married, they are expected to wear mom jeans, cut their hair short and wear more mature clothing…And what about those wives and moms on talk shows that are always getting makeovers? As my wedding date gets closer, I am wondering what is appropriate clothing for a Christian wife?

Any thoughts?

DeVon Franklin & Meagan Good and other celebrity couples celebrate black love with Wal-Mart…

Hello World, walmartblkluv3

As you know if you’ve read even a few of my posts, I’m always writing about single women and the search for love…Well, in honor of Black History Month, Wal-Mart hosts “Black Love and Relationships” tonight at Morehouse College from 6:30 p.m. to 8 pm. This forum, moderated by Dr. Alduan Tartt, psychologist and CNN on-air personality, features celebrity couples DeVon Franklin & Meagan Good, Anthony & Tarsha Hamilton & Bishop Paul S. Morton and Dr. Debra B. Morton. It seems that three unique perspectives of marriage will be offered from the newlywed perspective to the seasoned perspective. Also, as at least two of the panelists are ministers, a Christian perspective of black love and relationships will be offered as well.

To RSVP for this FREE event, go to hthatl.eventbrite.com. However, while the event is free and open to the public, seating is offered on a first come, first served basis. The forum will be held in the Bank of America Auditorium, Shirley A. Massey Executive Conference Center, 830 Westview Drive, SW Atlanta 30314. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. However, if you are unable to come, the forum will be broadcast LIVE via www.walmart.com/historyteachinghistory.If you have a question for the panelists, tweet them at #hthalt.

And since this is the month of love in addition to Black History Month, I have to post my favorite new love song…”You & I” by Avant featuring KeKe Wyatt…I love their duets! I think they have a vocal chemistry similar to Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell….What do you think?

Any thoughts?
