Fireproof: The Movie

Hello Everyone out there in the world (or whoever is reading this)! I just thought I would keep you non-informed people informed about an upcoming movie called Fireproof. It stars Kirk Cameron and is produced by the same people who made Facing the Giants and Flywheel. View the trailer here. I must admit that I cannot write as good a review on Fireproof as my Uncle can on his blog, Basin and Towel since he has actually been able to see the movie, so I would suggest going there to read that post and all other posts which are of course worth reading since he is my uncle. Anyway, I am hoping to keep uninformed people informed and if you still need informing, please feel free to post a comment. Abster Out.

Working Hard vs. Being Lazy

Working Hard vs. Being Lazy

“Doing hard things is important to growing up”, is a saying that should be kept in your head at all times. Working hard may seem worthless at the moment, but it isn’t really after a while. Here are three points supporting the phrase, some things are hard yet necessary to learn, what the rewards are for working hard and not working hard, and oppositions that should be fixed.

The first point is somethings are hard yet necessary to learn, like tying your shoes or reading. You need to learn them in order to move on in life. You may say that school is hard, but if you don’t learn anything, you most likely won’t be able to find a job, no job means no money and that means no food or clothing. Chores are also something that needs to be learned because your house needs to be straight!

If someone gave you a choice between perseverance and immaturity, you would probably pick perseverance. Working hard gives you perseverance, and not working hard gives you immaturity. Somethings may be long but not hard, and that is where perseverance comes in.

When you have a chore (or chores), you become accustomed to working before play. People who don’t have chores, think that playing is a free luxury, until they grow up. That can give you a completely different impression of life. So, you have found that immaturity come from not working hard.

Ignorance, laziness and unpreparedness all come from not working hard. You might say, “I can just watch TV to learn stuff”, but everything that comes on TV is not always true. Or you might say “my parents do the chores and other housework, so I don’t have to. The culture and my generation is centered around entertainment. To fit in I have fun only”, but that doesn’t mean we have to do what the culture does AKA not work. Entertainment should be on the bottom of our to-do list.

Our culture doesn’t like to see young people who work hard. “Doing hard things is important to growing up” should still be in your head, so should the points that were just given to you. Something are had yet necessary to learn, perseverance from working hard and immaturity from not, and oppositions. There are things that need hard work that you need for later, though you may not consider them important now.

New Movies!

Prince Caspian is coming out in theaters in 4 days! I don't know about you, but I am definitely going to see the first showing of it! I really enjoy The Chronicles of Narnia and the books are absolutely worthwhile! The last movie (The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe) stayed very close to the book except for a few minor changes and hopefully Prince Caspian will be the same. If you want anymore information on it, plus a very cool countdown clock, click here.

I am also a big Indiana Jones fan, and I'm really excited about the new one, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull which is coming out in 10 days. Sometimes the Indy movies are unpredictable, but I hope that this one will be worth my time and money if I decide to see it in theaters.

Anyway, I would highly encourage you to see (or read) Prince Caspian, and if I see it in theaters, I might be able to post a review of it here!
