"To Save A Life"

Friday nights mean Pizza nights in the Hoogendoorn household. Sometimes we go out for pizza and sometimes we just curl up on the couch with either frozen pizza or delivery of some sort and a Redbox movie.

Lately, we've been fairly disappointed in the lack of good, quality movies to watch these days. They're either all very and unnecessarily sexual and trashy or have absolutely no decent plot. But tonight, when my husband came home with "To Save a Life," I thought it might be well worth the watch. I was right. Oh, so right.

We had seen a preview for this quite awhile ago and were really interested in seeing it, but somehow we completely missed it when it was in theaters.

Y'all, this is such a powerful film. If you haven't seen it, you really, really need to. Did you like "The Blind Side"? This movie is very similar, only a lot more Christian emphasis.

I think Matt and I both were really affected by it (tears may have been shed) because it really is a picture of what we do. There are so many people (specifically, students) who really are hurting and feel alone and like nobody in the world cares a lick about them. All it takes to make a difference is to just simply become friends...just one at a time. Love them like they've never been loved before. Tell them how significant their life really is and that they're not an accident.

If you haven't seen this...pick it up soon.

If you haven't made a new friend lately...pick one out. There are so many to choose from.
