 SERGIO LEONE'S LEGACY Yes, the pattern of quick justice followed by silence is scripturally familiar. But make no mistake: there are no Christ figures here. Mercy is as out of place in Leone's landscape as his dusters.
This truth you will not encounter: God is found not merely in the satisfaction of retribution via human agents; he is also there in the desert between oases, calling us to seit and dwell in the silence and wait not for an explosion but a still, small voice. Read more...

In the Works for Film & Faith
|
 FAMILY ADDITION WITH LEIGH ANNE TUOHYN is a fun, big-hearted series starring the real-life inspiration behind the blockbuster film The Blind Side, which earned Sandra Bullock an Academy Award for Best Actress. The series makes its world television premiere on UP on Friday, June 7 at 9 p.m. EST.
"There are so many unsung heroes in communities across America who demonstrate unconditional love and support by taking on the responsibility of fostering and then adopting children in their care," say Tuohy. "In Family Addition we help break down walls to help families deal with the changes they experience and to help ensure that ultimately each child has an opportunity to have a forever family and a place where they feel loved, valued, and accepted."

I traversed the full spectrum of emotions in mere moments: from disbelief to joy to self-doubt to terror, then back to joy again. On that whirlwind of a day more than six years ago, I realized I was going to be someone's mother in a matter of months, and I didn't have a clue where to start. Read more...

 AN INTERVIEW WITH AUTHOR CATHERINE CLAIRE LARSON I thought to myself, "Wouldn't it be great to have a devotional journal just for expectant moms?" The idea for a book that would lead women closer to Jesus [...] but also provide a space to include memories, prayers, and special love notes to their baby just sort of struck me and then wouldn't go away until I did something about it.

Walking the Camino: Six Ways to Santiago
|
 WE TALK WITH DIRECTOR LYDIA B. SMITH "This experience of walking for six, seven hours, arriving and having your feel completely a mess, and having someone out of the kindness of their heart spend an hour working on your feet . . . Or someone who cooks you dinner and expects no payment. There's such a level of service and kindness that happens on the Camino, it's really extraordinary." Read more...

 FRINGE It's an X-Files/Falling Skies mash-up that started out with a grand conspiracy, Mark Valley, and episodic "cases," but by the third season, had slid into a grand conspiracy theory about parallel universes, hostile takeovers, and science fiction technology that we have to hope never comes into existence.
