Bella ... Is ... Beautiful


A new movie has just been released called "Bella". It is a small, independent film release - one that, unfortunately, does not have very wide distribution. "Bella" has recently won the coveted People's Choice Award at the highly respected Toronto Film Festival, an award shared by an impressive list of past films, such as: "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon", "American Beauty", and "Life Is Beautiful". This is also a film that is being promoted on adoption websites, as well as many pro-life organizations. Laura and I got a babysitter Tuesday night and we went to see the film. I have to tell you, this movie is amazing. The theme of the film is so beautifully portrayed on the screen - it's message comes shining through with compassion and incredible creativity. The director is extremely talented and the acting is superb. With a story of love, sacrifice, and redemption - this is an absolutely wonderful film. Go see "Bella" - it is truly beautiful.

Hi Jay, we were going to see the film the first weekend it was out but couldn't find it at a local theater. Now maybe we'll go since it's closer to us. Love, Mom

About Me

My photo
Jay
My name is Jay. I am a 37 year old guy, elated to be married to my beautiful bride of 15 years, Laura. We have two sons, Evan and Colin, who are just about the most amazing two boys that anyone, anywhere, has ever known. We have a beautiful daughter named Raina, whom we have recently adopted from China - and quite simply, she has completely lit up our world. I am a bass-playing worship leader at Parkview Christian Church who happens to earn a living as a communications technician in the mighty city of Chicago. I make a very human attempt at following my savior Jesus Christ as closely as I can, so I am therefore very thankful for His grace. He laid down His life in order to purchase mine, and gave me eternal life in exchange for my trust in Him. He has proven Himself faithful to me throughout my life, which is why I hold fast to Him.
