Less is More Rory writes, "Who does that? Who has that kind of strength and character? Not me, that’s for sure. I would’ve taken the low, easy road… the one that served me more. I would’ve tried to make the ties with our baby stronger and her love for me deeper so that she wouldn’t forget me… and in the end, probably left our baby wrecked with grief over the loss of the one person she loved and needed most. But not Joey. She let Indy fall more in love with me…and less in love with her. She carried the pain on her own shoulders, to try to keep it off of mine. And even more so, off of Indy’s."

This Is Our Time DVD by Pure Flix When you cannot trace God’s hand, you can always trust God’s heart -- unknown quote used by Bishop Kenneth Ulmer (who plays the pastor in the film) This is Our Time is about five recent college graduates prepared to take their world by storm. Though differing in talent and direction, each of them intends to take the journey with strong faith and determination to make a difference in their chosen fields.  However, life delivers curve balls along the way. They experience setbacks, struggles, ethical dilemmas and even a great tragedy that test their faith to see what sort it is. Watch this powerful film. Better yet, watch it with a teen or young adult.

However, God can be trusted for He is good. An added bonus is that the movie is based on a true mission to lepers in India called ...
