(Update to this post)
** I was just watching Julie and Julia again (5/22/2010) and after enjoying the movie decided to google Mrs. Julie Powell and her blog. Well, I am sad to say, though I feel the movie is light-hearted, Mrs. Powell's blog uses many curse words, but to the worst, taking our precious Lord's name in vain. I might truly gather she is not a Christian, thus she does not know what she is saying. However, I do feel it is my responsibility to recommend things that are glorifying to our precious Father. I will not be reading her blog again. It broke my heart to see such disrespect (and as a Christian I say, hateful words). We must all be careful with our choices and what we say, read, do...we are to be a light for our Lord and that includes our actions, not just our words. My apologies for not being aware of this sooner, please forgive me. I might encourage us all though, let's lift Mrs. Powell up in prayer, that she would come to know the beautiful and loving Father that has created her and given her the gifts she has. Let us pray for her salvation and that of her family. Our God is so good always and desires a loving relationship with us all, His children, His creation. And it is our responsibility to lift those up to Him that do not know Him- He did this for us. I was lost but now am found, and I am humbly grateful that my life is in Him, when before it was so very far, I was like Mrs. Powell. I did nothing to deserve His grace and love but He chose to give it to me, despite who I was (and am) and to give me hope and a future and blessings are too numerous to count. I am humbled by the love of my Jesus. I pray you are as well.
Bless you dear ones, for His love and grace abounds.
Proverbs 4:23 (New International Version)

Psalm 126:2 (New International Version)
2 Our mouths were filled with laughter,
our tongues with songs of joy.
Then it was said among the nations,
"The LORD has done great things for them."

i have not seen it, and hesitated for the
reasons you mentioned.
but i have to confess, if you read my
blog, that i transgressed once, too.

dear bree,
thank you for your sweet comments.
you are such a special person.
i love your vulnerability and desire to
be a Godly wife and mother.
He loves to answer our prayers to make
us into the daughters, wives, and mothers
He predestined us to be!
