Katie Lapp finds herself drawn to some of the English ways even though she’s a member of a well-respected Amish family. She’s betrothed to the Bishop, but she is conflicted about the upcoming wedding. When a stranger shows up in town, her mom and dad start to act different. A piece of a burned letter sets of a chain of events for which no one within the community is prepared. My Thoughts: Danielle Panabaker (Katie Lapp) does a wonderful job in the starring role in this movie. Her character is believable as each emotion is displayed prominently on her face and every…
Year: 2011
About the artist: Four years on the road as a touring worship leader eventually took its toll on Jeremy, so in January 2011, the former Jr. High youth pastor came on staff as worship community pastor at Bethel Church in Redding, CA. Working under pastors Brian and Jenn Johnson, Jeremy facilitates a worship community of over 200 people within the church. “My wife (Katie) and I have always had a heart to serve the local church and never wanted to do the full-time travel thing for very long, so it felt like a good time to transition into something different,”…

Project 365 – #258 Angry Birds – the little app that has become a phenomenon everywhere it seems – has invaded our house. We have all 3 versions of Angry Birds on our Droid smartphones – Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, and Angry Birds Rio. Truth be told, I don’t play Angry Birds that often. **gasp** You see, Munchkin has commandeered my phone for the playing of Angry Birds while Daddy plays Angry Birds on his phone. They can often be found sharing notes, discussing different levels, and helping each other out with various levels. When we finally had the opportunity to watch…

The rainbow shall be in…
