October Baby

My wife,  Brenda and I had the opportunity to go on Family Life Ministries' "Love Like You Mean It" cruise. It is a cruise especially designed give married couple the opportunity to spend a week together; enriching their marriage with great sessions taught by leading Christian speakers, fantastic performances by top Christian artists, and all the excitement that comes with a week long cruise! It was fantastic.

One of the activities they offered was a preview of the movie "October Baby". It deals with the story of a survivor of a failed abortion. Here is the synopsis of the story, as found on the movies web site:

"You saw me before I was born." Psalm 139:16 (NLT)

As the curtain rises, Hannah hesitantly steps onto the stage for her theatrical debut in college. Yet before she can utter her first lines, Hannah—unscripted—collapses in front of the stunned audience.

After countless medical tests, all signs point to one underlying factor: Hannah's difficult birth. This revelation is nothing compared to what she then learns from her parents: she was actually adopted … after a failed abortion attempt.

Bewildered, angered, and confused, Hannah turns for support to Jason, her oldest friend. Encouraged by his adventurous spirit, Hannah joins his group of friends on a Spring Break road trip, embarking on a journey to discover her hidden past … and find hope for her unknown future.

In the midst of her incredible journey, Hannah finds that life can be so much more than what you have planned.

Spread the word and plan on attending the opening on March 23; better yet take a group or rent out the theater for the show. I will do all I can to make sure the people I know get a chance to see this movie.
