READ THIS BOOK


So I have told you to read the book Passport Through Darkness. At the time I had not bought it but I knew who the author was and knew it had to be an incredible story.

I did not know it was going to be about the people of Sudan and Kimberly's journeys to and from Sudan to fight slavery.


I cannot stress this enough. You need to go purchase this book immediately. It will open your eyes to the evil in this world.


I will admit that I do not watch the evening news because I get tired of watching the evil and murder in this world. But unlike the evening news...these sad stories have a redeemed ending. Why? Because the end has not come yet. And these people who are suffering will one day suffer no more.


I have been researching Sex Trafficking for the last two years...and I have never read anything so intense in my life. It brings the Holocaust to the present day.
Sex trafficking is real. It is happening to people in Sudan. It is happening to children in Birmingham, AL. And we are called, as HUMANs, as Christians, to fight and protect the children who have had their childhood stolen from them.


Read a chapter. Then Pray. Read a chapter. Then Pray. Finish the Book. Then sponsor a child. Imagine your children. Your sisters. Your brothers. Sex trafficked at 8 years old...imagine the cruelty and inhuman actions that they were forced to endure. Protect the innocent and fight sex trafficking by supporting Kimberly L. Smith and buy this damn good book.

The Visitor



This movie was very heart wrenching and frustrating. But it was also a beautiful picture of what it means to really Live and to really have Relationships with those around us...no matter what shape, size, color, religion.

Going the Distance


This movie was predictable from the beginning but it was filled with so much comedy that it makes it worth the watch...From Applegate to Long these comedic actors made this movie...










Not to mention Drew's wardrobe throughout the movie is so freakin cute. :)

Miss Potter




I rented Miss Potter featuring Renee Zellweger as Beatrix Potter, the famed author of the most beloved children stories..."The Tale of Peter Rabbit".


I had no idea what kind of person and what kind of life Beatrix Potter lead! And it was so much fun to dive into her imagination. Such a cute and adorable movie!
