I have to admit, it has been awhile since we've been to a movie.
Perhaps two or three decades.
Things have changed!
Other than the fact that there were 24 theatres in one place, Dave and I felt like we were in a high security airport, rather than a theatre!
First we were greated by about eight ticket agents behind security glass. They wore headphones and microphones to be able to be heard. Here I felt like I was at the Kenyan money exchange - although it wasn't behind a locked door.
Then it was on to finding the right gate - or rather theatre.
Gate 1 -14 this way, 15 - 20 that way, and 21-24 over there....
Upgraded to first class, the seats have cup holders now, and are quite comfy. The sound is wrap around with noises from all directions. Those lovely red curtains that draw back at show time - still there, but now merely technology on screen rather than the real thing. No dry cleaning involved.
The movie - War Room.
A movie on the significance of prayer.
Remarkably it is in its third week at our local theatre. I believe it was only suppose to run for five days. That is good news!

A Proud Mom
Today, I saw God's heart shine from my oldest daughter.
She was telling me that her friend was happy becasue she was able to wear high heels agian.
I know that doesn't sound like much but here is the story.
A few weeks ago a friend of Monica's was in a terrible car accident. She broke multiple bones and had major surgery putting her back together with screws and pins and such. It is a miracle she is alive.
Not only is she alive, but she has gone from bed, to wheelchair, to crutches to cane to walking on her own in a matter of weeks.
Now she is wearing high heels agian with the goal to dance at her wedding in January.
And Monica smiled - "rejoicing with those who rejoice."
Why is that amazing. Because Moncia would love to wear pretty shoes. Monica would love to be out of her wheelchair and make her way to crutches, then cane, then nothing, then high heels. It's been over two decades for her.
And yet she rejoices.
Only God could make a heart so beautiful.

Going Smart
I succumbed!
This week I got my first smart phone.
It makes me feel dumb!
My first text read - "This is complicated"
One niffty thing I do like about my phone is that I can speak into it and have it type out the text. This is good for someone who is visually impaired.
Dave also found a great accessibility feature that increases the font size and bolds it for me.
All in all, this may work.
Of course, to use it in Israel, I will have to have Anna-Lee's help.
She has already mastered these things.
