Netflix and Facing the Giants

We signed up for Netflix over the summer and have really enjoyed it. It is wonderful! I can't tell you how much money we've saved since we joined. If you don't know what it is, check out the website here.

We had the movie Facing the Giants in our queue. It came out on video yesterday and I figured we'd have to wait a little while before getting it. Nope, not when you have it saved in your queue! Facing the Giants was mailed Monday, and arrived in our mailbox yesterday. I doubt we would have been able to rent it at Movie Gallery or Hastings last night.

Facing the Giants is a fantastic movie. The acting isn't the greatest, but the story is. It even got me teared up a few times. The movie tells the story of a high school coach who rises above failure to create a winning spirit on the field. Coach Taylor faces a losing team, a failing marriage and the possibility of being fired. At the end of his rope, he puts his life in God's hands and, in doing so, finds a stronger purpose and, ultimately, salvation.

We just brought home our pirated copy for the open market here the other day :) I'll have to let you know how the Bull's like it cause we haven't had a chance to watch it.
