Into the Wild


I finally talked my husband into watching this movie with me Friday night. First let me say that the cinematography is amazing. It does not hurt that it was filmed on location in places like Oregon, Washington, California and Alaska. But the most surprising thing about this film was the biblical themes on love, forgiveness and community.


It is a pretty heavy film. I would not suggest watching it unless you are in the mood for that. It really brings to light just how fragile life really is and how awesome God's creation is and how God has designed us for relationship.


Check it out if you get the chance and leave me a comment with your thoughts.



A couple of my favorite quotes from the movie...


"When you forgive, you love. And when you love, God's light shines upon you."




"Happiness only real when shared."

Got It!!

And not from Amazon. I found a copy at my local Barnes & Noble. I scoured the shelves for an hour (an employee looked where it was supposed to be and it was not there. Told me it must be an inventory mistake). Well being as tenacious as I am I located it. Now....just need to get to the store to buy my ingredients for real French Macarons. Will update soon on how the process is going.
