Well it finally snowed here!! Every time we have a snow storm I am blown away by how beautiful everything is when it stops snowing. The frosted trees, the sparkly winter wonderland created by that brilliant sunshine that usually follows a snowstorm; that snap in the air that you breathe; that grateful feeling that wells up inside of you as you take a first glimpse out the window of God's breathtaking handiwork.... Those things are all wrapped up inside my brain right now as I sit in our loft working on….
January's "My Two Cents."
Watch
I’m in the mood for inspiring, heart-warming, self-sacrificing movies, so let’s see what is on the shelf….
I love studying military history, so when I came across this movie last year I was really excited! It can be hard to find movies based on stories from that era, that aren’t filled with bad language or unnecessary scenes, but this one was clean and very well done!
Hidden in Silence
“Przemysl, Poland, WW11. Germany emerges victorious over the Russians, and the city comes under Nazi control. The Jewish are sent to the ghettos. While some stand silent, Catholic teenager Stefania Podgorska chooses the role of a savior and sneaks 13 Jews into her attic.”
While most stories of this kind can be very graphic, I felt that they did a good job of portraying what happened and yet still keeping it a family film. I have family members that can read about graphic things, but if they actually see it in person they are just overwhelmed…. They did not feel that way with this film, and yet it still adequately told the truth of what was happening during that time period. I would highly recommend this! Very well done…plus, anything with Kellie Martin is good J
