Fireproof, part 1

Okay, so my husband and I are the 'last' couple on earth to see this wonderful movie. That's what our teenage daughters all wanted us to believe. They have been harboring us for weeks to sit down and watch this film with them.

I guess I should be thrilled that the film spoke so loudly to them. They even went so far as to borrow a family friends copy for us to watch. And so, YES, I'll admit it was a wonderful movie. Here's the movie in a minute...

Capt. Caleb Holt (Kirk Cameron) knows how to manage a crisis. Everyday, he directs a team of brave firefighters as they answer calls for help. At the same time, he doesn’t realize the danger his own marriage is facing. In a desperate attempt to win back his wife Catherine (Erin Bethea), Caleb goes to his father for some veteran advice. Seeking a quick way to fix his marriage, Caleb slowly learns how to love.

It’s not even close to being Oscar-worthy, but this little film touched my heart unlike any big box office movie. My eyes weren’t dry by the end of the movie, and I seem to remember seeing my girls wipe one or two tears away as well.
