The Waltons Seasons DVDs & Swagbucks



The Waltons - The Complete Third Season Amazon.com has nearly all their DVD seasons of The Waltons for only $12.49! This is half of what most stores carry them for. With gift cards I earned from Swagbucks and a little bit of cash, I was able to order seasons 4-6. I can’t wait for them to arrive in a few days! We are slowly building our DVD collections!

If you are not familiar with Swagbucks, you can use their website to do searches and be rewarded “Swagbucks”, which you can then turn around and use for prizes on their website. I like to use them for $5 Amazon gift cards. When I have enough gift cards, I cash them in for things that I want. I use Swagbucks for searches that I go to a few times a day, like when I visit Google Reader, Facebook, and news pages. I bookmark these search results and rename them so that I can easily use them every time I need them (Tip from Lizzie at A Dusty Frame). I don’t use SB for other searches, because I feel search results are better on Google. I have my children use Swagbucks for their frequently visited pages also. By searching, I usually earn 2-3 Swagbucks a day (you don’t win them for every search), although sometimes I can find codes on the SB Facebook, Twitter, or blog pages.

If you’d like to try Swagbucks, click on the banner below. If you sign up using the banner below, I will earn a Swagbuck every time you do (up to 100)! SB are very easy to use, and it’s a real joy to earn free stuff just for searching!

Fireproof on DVD



103339: Fireproof, Special Collector"s Edition DVDLast week we made a special trip into town to purchase the Fireproof DVD on the day it came out. We have been anticipating it for months, ever since we saw it in theaters. Back in the fall, my sweetheart had taken me to see it as a surprise, and I took my girls, my parents, and my parents’ neighbor a few days later. We were just blown away by the movie. It contains something for the whole family: action, romance, and comedy. It encouraged me greatly to see the Gospel of Jesus Christ presently so clearly on the “big screen.” We have watched it numerous times since purchasing the DVD.

Since watching the Left Behind series, my girls have been big “fans” of Kirk Cameron, who starred in Fireproof. They have loved the stories I’ve told them of how extremely popular Kirk was when I was a teen girl. My daughters are amazed at how God worked in his life and saved him. It still amazes me. I recently read Kirk’s autobiography Still Growing. I cannot tell you how much his testimony encourages me in my walk with the Lord. My middle daughter got to it and read it before I could.:) Now, my oldest is reading it, sometimes aloud to her baby sister.

Here is the official Fireproof trailer.

Although I don’t normally listen to this style of music, this song has greatly encouraged all of us. It is called “While I’m Waiting” and was featured in Fireproof. I’ve done a great deal of waiting on the Lord in my life. He has always been working behind the scenes, as I was waiting. He does that for all of His children, no matter if we can see Him working or not. We can trust that He is getting everything lined in place for His perfect timing.

We loved the Fireproof in 60 video on the Fireproof website and also on the DVD. You can view it on the website; it is the second video. Hilarious!

We have seen all the movies made by Sherwood Baptist Church. We pray for God’s continued outpouring of blessings and protection on this humble church, who just want to honor God.
