Facing the Giants. I don't know if all of you have seen said movie. The acting is a little rough, but I think the story line is powerful.

They both prayed for rain, but only one went and prepared his fields. Now which one do you think believed the rain was actually coming?"

I want to go back to Northland. I want to be married and have a family. I want to be on my own. I want to be changed from the selfish person I am into somebody else. I want to SEE God at work. But have I made my life ready for rain?
