Where Are Alex and Brett? Updated!
UPDATE: Thank you everyone for your prayers and birthday wishes. We have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we have more time to finish up the book with our editors — which is always a good thing. The (semi) bad news is that we’re going to still be working on it for a few more weeks, before we leave for Japan. Keep praying!
Some of you may have been wondering what has happened to Brett and me. The truth is that finishing our book before the end-of-the-month deadline is eating up almost every waking moment (and a lot of moments when we should be sleeping).
We are so excited about this book and cannot wait until we can share it with all of you. Still, we have often said that God has too much of a sense of humor to make writing a book called Do Hard Things easy. It’s been hard, but good.
The deadline for the second write-through is this Sunday, October 28th. I’ll be honest. We have never dreaded our birthday more. We will then go on a 5-day writing retreat to complete all final revisions before it goes to the publisher.
Please pray for us as we attempt to make it to the finish line over the next week or so. God is faithfully bringing the book together, but not as quickly as we — in our “great wisdom” — would like. Pray that we would persevere in His strength, avoid distractions, and complete the book on time. We cannot do it without you.
Meanwhile, below is a very important announcement we wanted to share with you. Please read it and consider how you and your family can respond. Thank you!
The Movie Bella - Opening Tomorrow
One of the disappointing things that has happened as a result of the book-writing crunch is that we were unable to write and post a full review and whole-hearted recommendation of the film Bella, hitting theaters tomorrow (October 26th).
Brett and I had the honor of hosting a pre-release screening of Bella at an event in Salt Lake City last month. The small-budget film shocked the film world by taking the People’s Choice Award at the prestigious Toronto Film Festival last year. It is a powerful film on the true meaning of love, life, redemption, and family.
Written, produced, directed, and starring some of the most talented and Christ-focused young men we have met, Bella is a film that will reach the heart of any person, regardless of their political or religious views. What makes us so excited about this film is its potential to change hearts and save lives.
Like Passion of the Christ, it is making a small opening release in major markets. If it does well the first week, and again the second, it will expand nation-wide.
Watch the official trailer below:
Here are steps you can take: First, check the theater listings to see if it is coming to an area near you. If it is, please attend and bring others with you. If it isn’t, contact family and friends in areas where it is showing and encourage them to attend.
If you live in a major city where it is not yet showing, gather together a few friends to call local theaters and encourage them to pick it up. This can be very effective.
Once you see it, please come back here and post your reviews. [Note: Without giving important details away!] This is a beautiful film that will require grassroots enthusiasm to have its full, culture-changing impact…
Thankfully, that is something that rebelutionaries can provide. Please join us!

We will continue to pray for you both… God bless you guys! You are doing some amazing work! We cannot wait for the book to be published.
October 25th, 2007 at 7:38 pm
You’re still in my prayers… can’t wait for your book–what a great thing God is doing through you!!!
October 25th, 2007 at 8:51 pm
Bella looks like a decent film, and I’d be inclined to watch, it, if only to support its pro life standpoint…except that its a chick flick. Still, if I have the chance, I might mention it…
Have fun writing guys…
October 25th, 2007 at 9:17 pm
Yes, yes, yes! Thank you so much for spreading the word about Bella! My family was privileged to experience a preview showing when we attended the March for Life back in January, and it is indeed a beautiful film. For the whole family. We absolutely must pound a huge positive reponse to it! I’ve been the to the (movie) theater a whole of three grand times in my life (that’s right — you can gasp — but I don’t feel like I’m too deprived!), and I must say that this is a film I am proud and thrilled to go see.
And to the fellow who thinks it’s a “chick flick”, let me assure you: there is a lot of depth to this movie. The masculine characters are strong and manly, and experiencing real human struggles. There’s the perfect balance of tender moments with gripping ones, deep ones with humorous ones, gentle ones with suspenseful ones. My Dad and brother enjoyed it just as much as my mom, sisters, and I. I hope you’ll actually go view it before making your analysis!
Grace and peace,
Claire
October 26th, 2007 at 6:30 am
I assumed that’s why you were’nt writing on the blog much, and I’ve been praying for you! I can’t wait to read your book!
October 26th, 2007 at 7:51 am
Praying for you guys as you write. May God give you strength and wisdom!
October 26th, 2007 at 12:33 pm
Get your sleep, guys, please! I’ll be praying for y’all.
October 26th, 2007 at 12:48 pm
Propjets, I’d disagree with you on the “chick flick” reference. If it’s a chick flick, more guys need to watch and be influenced by chick flicks.
October 26th, 2007 at 1:35 pm
Yes, SLEEP! I’ve been learning that the hard way, and it feels tons better to get a normal sleep schedule. And you can get more done during the day, because you feel better ;D
Sorry, I wasn’t trying to boss you around there. I’ll be praying!
October 26th, 2007 at 1:49 pm
Well, I admit that I haven’t seen the movie…
but having watched its trailer, and having read a few reviews…it looks like a chick flick to me. As a temporary member of the unofficial local BTR chapter I can say that chick flicks as male entertainment would def. raise some eyebrows…
At any rate, what exactly would you say to people like me to convince them to watch it beyond ‘I’d disagree with you on the “chick flick” reference’?
Does that mean that chick flicks should be acceptable male fare, or that Bella isn’t a chick flick?
haha…
this is kinda amusing…
anyway…
o, btw, I understand that you guys write to a larger audience than just single males, and I understand that that includes reviewing content that appeals to more than us guys…
October 26th, 2007 at 2:40 pm
You both are certainly in my prayers as your writing progresses into the late hours of the night… (Do you really stay up too late and work on your book?) God bless you and your commendable efforts!
October 26th, 2007 at 2:44 pm
propjets,
What is a “chick flick”? Is that a genre classification?
Seriously, I don’t like to dismiss movies based on cliched or stereoptypical notions of what they are. I’ve been campaigning for Bella for over a month now, and it’s never even crossed my mind that only females could gain something from watching this film. If subdued, thoughtful movies are chick flicks, then I would gladly pick the chick flick genre over all others if I was forced to choose. That’s just my opinion, though, and I can see where you’re coming from. Just don’t ignore the movie simply because you would classify it as a chick flick. At least read a review and check out endorsements before making up your mind.
Alex and Brett:
I’m glad you guys are finishing up your book! I can’t wait to read it. I’m also glad you posted your endorsement of “Bella.” Awareness for this movie needs to be heightened, and I’m glad that you guys posted about it.
In Christ,
Noah
October 26th, 2007 at 5:19 pm
I’m praying for you guys! And if you’re birthday is on the 28, mine is too! Happy Birthday!
October 26th, 2007 at 6:49 pm
HAPPY (ALMOST) BIRTHDAY!
October 26th, 2007 at 7:38 pm
Propjets, I just meant that the film has a real life story and a real life hero — and a lot of guys today need that.
October 26th, 2007 at 8:03 pm
I truly am praying for y’all as you finish up this book. May every word from your pen, ( or key-pad, whatever, ) be glorifying to our Father and blessed of Him. Sleep and drink a cup or so of hot tea! Seriously.
October 26th, 2007 at 10:02 pm
God bless you on your birthday on Sunday!
I’m praying for you as you meet the deadline…
Take care and rest well.
October 26th, 2007 at 10:23 pm
I want to see Bella so badly. I don’t know if theaters here would allow it to be played, though. Your idea about calling is a good one, though, I think I will call.
Glad your book is coming along, and I’ll continue to pray for y’all as you work on it.
Have a happy birthday on Sunday, and may God bless your year and may you continue to grow in Christ.
October 27th, 2007 at 8:23 am
I will be praying for you all more and more these next few weeks. I know that whenever you guys feel like you can’t make it, the Lord will give you the strength to do so. What He started, He will finish. I am so excited to read the book when you are done.
Have a wonderful birthday…even though you will have a thousand other things on your mind. I hope you both feel blessed by God and your family on Sunday.
October 27th, 2007 at 10:44 am
Propjets, and others, in regards the film Bella…..not certain what you must see in a film that merits its designation as a “chick flick”….but everything I’ve read on the film says sure, its a love story…but one with real depth, and a very significant cultural statement, portraying biblical manhood, womanhood, sacrificial love……..and hey, I can’t catch the objection to “chick flicks” anyway. Being an adult male, not yet married, I’ve found strong merit in the likes of Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and other classic literature rendered as cinema. Far deeper than “entertainment”, these often portray aspects of life as real people, developing character depth and so forth. Not to chide overmuch, but many males these days seem to think anything “romantical” or “passionate” is not worthy of attention. This is a false value. Men DO have emotions, and we must learn to use them to God’s glory, neither to deny them nor misuse them for our own short-term gain. The one fact that this film was given the People’s Choice award at Toronto speaks all I’d need to know to see it…..especially given that it is not concerned with the typical corrupt values of the world. I’ve checked, and I see NO theatres in the Pacific Northwest listed as showing in the near future. I sincerely hope this will change, as I am determined to see this film, “chick flick” or no. That designation is no more off-putting to me than “sci-fi”, “fantasy”, “western”..all of which genres of film contain vast numbers of rubbish not worthy of my eyes….but also a few gems with lasting and beneficial content.
Brett and Alex—please DO continue hard at it, giving yourselves to this project wholeheartedly. But also, PLEASE, do take time for things like rowdying your smaller sized brothers, teasing Kiki, and taking tea with your Mum…..you’ll be “recharged” for “hitting the book” the more vigourously.
October 27th, 2007 at 12:46 pm
You guys should have just picked a different day to be born on and then it wouldn’t be so dreadful!
Okay, sorry, I know I’m supposed to be being supportive right now. God’s been hearing about you. 
Remember the little engine that could? “I think I can, I think I can…I can, I can…” - with Him you WILL!
Thank you for posting a brief overview of Bella! I’d heard about it and thought it seemed like a good film, but I appreciate having a recommendation from you guys. That trailer was also MUCH more coherent than the first one I saw. Columbus isn’t showing it yet though…Hmm.
October 27th, 2007 at 1:37 pm
lol. Ok, Alex, I grant that “the film has a real life story and a real life hero — and a lot of guys today need that”.
I’m just wondering if, as a self respecting, single male, Bella is where I want to find that…
heh
ah well…I doubt that I’ll have the chance to see it anyhow.
October 27th, 2007 at 2:35 pm
Make sure ya’ll take care of yourselves, and I’m praying you’ll find some enjoyment in your birthday!
I had the privalige of seeing Bella at a premier showing by United for Life in Birmingham, AL on Thursday night. It’s amazing! They get the message across without being too preachy OR compromising. The characters are believable, the story is beautiful, and the humor is great! It’s a glimpse into what true love is and it’s a home-hitter on the value of life.
October 27th, 2007 at 4:40 pm
Yeah, take it easy on your birthday.
Have a good one!
Prayin’
October 27th, 2007 at 8:56 pm
Have a great birthday!
October 28th, 2007 at 7:18 am
Happy birthday! (…Has your mother scolded you both for not taking enough breaks yet? Fresh air would probably do wonders. I’m sure you know that already. Your mother is undoubtedly taking good care of you!) God bless your special day!
October 28th, 2007 at 9:41 am
I just wanted to wish you guys a happy birthday! May God bless you both on your special day and may He make your work load light and to go smoothly. God Bless and Happy Birthday!
October 28th, 2007 at 12:05 pm
Happy Birthday, Alex and Brett! I pray that the Lord continues to bless y’all in the coming year, and gives you both clarity of mind as you finish your book (which I am very excited about
).
Thank you for the movie recommendation! I’ll have to look that up.
October 28th, 2007 at 12:31 pm
Happy birthday, guys! You have been a blessing in my life, and I thank you for everything you’ve done with the Rebelution. Keep up the good work!
October 28th, 2007 at 12:55 pm
Hey!
I will pray that you guys will be done with the book on time, and that God will give you peace in the final part of the writing stages!
Happy birthday!
Be blessed!
October 28th, 2007 at 3:07 pm
Blessings on your birthday!
October 28th, 2007 at 5:59 pm
I just got back from watching “Bella” Everyone should see it!! It is a movie that could change lives, heal wounds, and make an impact.
October 28th, 2007 at 6:35 pm
Alex and Brett, I’ll chime in as well and say that I’m looking forward to your book being published!
I saw Bella yesterday, and it has taken until now to fully digest the movie and form my opinion.
I think this movie is a beautiful work of art. The dialogue was alternately hilarious and heart-wrenching. The acting was superb. The camera angles were fascinating. Cinematographically, the film was amazing.
The lack of inappropriate content strongly impressed me. I have heard so many Christians defend graphic violence and immorality by insisting, “But the film wouldn’t be realistic without it!” The movie Bella entirely invalidates that theory. There was no profanity, no sexually immoral scenes, and no graphic violence. And yet, this film was disturbing and deserves its PG-13 rating. Without resorting to graphic violence or profanity, the filmmaker was able to capture the harshness of life—this is the mark of artistic genius.
I don’t want to spoil anything, so I won’t go into much detail about the plot. I will say that it definitely has a strong pro-life theme, but I think it goes even deeper than that. It shows the need for Christians to reach out to those who are hurting.
I would highly recommend seeing Bella. With that said, it was so emotionally-draining for me to watch that I don’t think I could watch Bella again. It might just be me—movies affect me a lot, and the tragic parts of this movie hit a little too close to home for our family. I had a hard time seeing such intense grief onscreen. I’m curious to know if anyone else had this reaction.
One more important comment about the movie—all that yummy-looking food in the restaurant scenes made me hungry!
October 28th, 2007 at 7:37 pm
Happy Birthday Alex and Brett! I hope and pray that your writing has gone well!
October 28th, 2007 at 8:32 pm
Happy Birthday! I’ve been praying for you both and your writing. Hope today was a good day, despite your dreading it.
God bless you both this coming year.
October 29th, 2007 at 7:52 am
Happy late Birthday!
Hmm…I hope that movie makes to some of the smaller markets. I wouldn’t mind seeing it in a theatre. I’ll be praying for you guys as you write!
October 29th, 2007 at 9:01 am
I am SO glad that y’all have recommended this movie. I am defintely going to see it in theatre if at all possible.
Lords blessings on your book!
October 29th, 2007 at 10:02 am
Hope the book is going well and that God’s blessing you with productiveness!
After reading your review, I went to see Bella, and it really did have a great message.
Some reviewers refer to it as “romantic,” but to me the love expressed seemed to be the “love your neighbor as yourself” type, the unselfish kind that sacrifices for the struggling and the unborn.
October 29th, 2007 at 12:24 pm
Thank-you guys for spending your birthday writing. Hope God blesses you in your labor. Will continue to pray for you guys.
October 29th, 2007 at 1:03 pm
I’m praying for you guys. And happy birthday!
-Mariah
October 29th, 2007 at 3:25 pm
Happy belated birthday
Hope you guys are having fun being 19!
I saw Bella last night - wow. I’m still a little shaken up. The music, the camera angles, the dialogue, the plot itself, the acting . . . they were all superb and really moved the movie along, making a simple plot (one day in New York) mysterious, intriguing, and convicting.
Oh, and I read the article about producer Eduardo V., and I’m so glad I did, because the family behind us at the movie was there to see the “old” Eduardo and were really disappointed, almost leaving halfway through. But they stayed - and they got to hear a beautiful message.
Thanks for recommending the movie, Alex & Brett
October 29th, 2007 at 4:13 pm
Happy (belated) Birthday!!
I’m praying for ya’ll!!
October 29th, 2007 at 6:17 pm
Ah, looks like a great movie. I’ll most certainly check it out, though I doubt any of the theaters around here will show it.
October 29th, 2007 at 9:45 pm
Looks like a good movie. I don’t know the whole plot yet (obviously), but it reminded me of the Mary and Joseph story in the Bible when she said, “I’m pregnant.” And the hero’s name is Jose…? Just a thought.
Keep on keepin’ on!
October 29th, 2007 at 10:40 pm
[…] We were tipped off to the existence of a newly released movie titled Bella, starring former Mexican superstar actor Eduardo Verástegui (described as “the Brad Pitt of Mexico” in one blog) by the Rebelution blog. We decided to make a date of it and went to watch the movie last Friday on its opening night. […]
October 30th, 2007 at 7:09 am
Happy belated birthday!
I will be sure to keep you guys in my prayers everyday. Thank you for taking the time you could be using to celebrate, and using it to write this book. I’m not sure I would.
About the movie Bella. I have not had a chance to watch it yet, or to look at the links you put up there, but I read a review about it in the WORLD magazine. The review in there is very good, and if you get this magazine then I suggest you read it. If you don’t then here is the website so you can view it online : www.worldmag.com/articles/13458
The article also talks about the lead actor Eduardo Verástegui.
Well, I must run.
October 30th, 2007 at 8:28 am
Prayin’ for you guys!
Can’t wait to see the movie. Looks very good.
October 30th, 2007 at 8:36 am
Hope the writing is going well! Looks like a good movie…I’ll have to look into it!
Happy Birthday!
October 30th, 2007 at 9:18 am
Happy late Birthday! My family has been praying for you both as ya’ll write your book. I can’t wait for it to come out so I can read it!
October 30th, 2007 at 12:06 pm
Blessings to you! Hope the writing is going well. I’ll be praying for you two. I can’t wait to read the book. Just a word of encouragement, Hebrews 12:1-2 says, “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Happy Late Birthday!
Blessings,
Caleb
October 30th, 2007 at 12:47 pm
I am knew to this whole rebelution website but have to say thanks for using the gifts god has given you. I’ll definitely be praying for you and I am sure he’ll help you get it done in his perfect will. Happy Birthday and thanks for the Bella trailer. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks again
October 30th, 2007 at 1:41 pm
I will be praying for you guys as you finish up your book! May God bless your faithful work!

Dear Brett and Alex,
Thank you for the movie review. As a mother of teenagers (as well as younger children), I appreciate hearing about noble films that we can view with our kids. The fragile standing of the unborn today is of great concern…I’m thankful for Eduardo and his testimony of God’s wonderful grace - what a bold risk to take to write and produce a film that is not only pro-life but glorifying to the Creator. The article links you provided below were fantastic. If anyone skips over them, they’re missing out…they’re what swayed us to wanting to pursue seeing if we can get this film in our area.
Thank you. And bless you as you finish your book. Our older kids are excited to get their hands on it. (We’re excited for them to get their hands on it, too!)
:-)

October 30th, 2007 at 4:25 pm
You all are in my prayers, especially now as you near the deadline for the book. May the Lord bless you and guide you.
October 30th, 2007 at 5:00 pm
Happy late Birthday! I am looking forward to reading your book.
October 30th, 2007 at 7:59 pm
I presume (though am not sure) that Alex and Brett are recommending this movie because they believe it to have a pro-life stance. But does it in fact have a pro-choice stance where the choice is simply life instead of death?
By the way, happy birthday gentlemen!
October 30th, 2007 at 8:04 pm
Phew! 19!
Good work on the book. I am sure it will be a rewarding ‘hard thing’.
October 31st, 2007 at 10:54 am
Hi Alex and Brett! Happy belated birthday! I hope you were able to make all your deadlines while also maintaining a good level of rest simultaniously. I know that when I have a deadline for sometime meal times suffer, but I always get my sleep. I just wanted to let you know again that I’m praying for you both and for your work on the book. I can’t wait to get a copy!
Every blessing,
~Nella
October 31st, 2007 at 11:20 am
thank you guys for the post about “Bella”. EVERYBODY 13 and up needs to see it. it is powerful, and it is truth. the sanctity of human life is obviously important to God (!!), and here is a chance to get people to think about that thru a great movie. the people who made it did it solely for God, thru prayer. thanx for helping to get the word out!
Jenna
October 31st, 2007 at 12:39 pm
happy belated birthday !
: )
October 31st, 2007 at 8:54 pm
Hey Alex and Brett,
I just got back from seeing “Bella” with my dad…it was GREAT!!! I love the message and the strong manly character of Jose (the lead guy…with the bushy beard)! I love how he’s so compassionate and kind and simply caring! It’s one of those pleasant movies where you can walk away feeling good and you don’t have to go through any language, strong violence or indecent images at all…the PG-13 rating comes from (I think) the general content, some intenseness between the characters as well as a very intense and dramatic scene involving a car accident. My dad and I strongly recommend “Bella”! I wouldn’t really recommend it for younger or immature ages, since it deals with a sensitive and mature issue (abortion). It is a very important issue though and I would encourage everyone else to watch this movie! You get to see Jose, who cares deeply about this little baby and wants to see it live…and he offers solutions along with his own help…how often do you see that?! I love how his own family is so welcoming, loving and caring all the way around towards each other as well as towards Nina, the lead gal! It’s a BEAUTIFUL image of a loving family that is rarely seen in the movies!
For any other guys who think this is a “chick-flick”…I didn’t come away thinking it was a “chick-flick” at all! It involves a ‘chick’ and her very realistic problems. It’s a love story of sorts…but not mushy…it’s a beautiful kind of love…true love! The lead guy character is a good guy figure to study and/or to have for a hero! He’s loving (and caring) more in the sense of he wants to help Nina and make her life (and the life of her baby) better, rather than in the sense of ‘She’s cute, he likes her and feels sorry for her so he helps her out.’ It’s a powerful (and realistic) movie with a powerful message!
God bless you Alex and Brett in the rest of your writing…been praying and will continue to do so! Eager to read it!
Shalom,
Sydney
=)
October 31st, 2007 at 10:28 pm
Sorry I didn’t wish you happy birthday earlier! I want to see “Bella” really bad but it’s not playing where I live
. Anyway–can’t wait to read the book and hope you didn’t drive yourselves TOO hard!
November 1st, 2007 at 5:34 am
I’m disappointed that Bella isn’t in any nearby theatres where I live.
Perhaps I should move southwest or far west sometime soon! To assuage my disappointment, I’ve been reading a lot of reviews, watching the trailer over and over, and listening to interviews… I’m extremely encouraged that there’s someone out there making quality films…
I hope you twins had a wonderful birthday! Excited to someday read your book!
November 1st, 2007 at 12:04 pm
Happy Belated Birthday! Sorry its so late..:P
Bella isn’t playing where I live either, but I will either try to see it in another town nearby, or wait until it comes out on DVD. (Hopefully the former.)
November 1st, 2007 at 12:58 pm
Wow, “Bella” sounds great. I heard an advertisement for the movie on a Christian radio station and automatically thought, “Well, that’s one I won’t be seeing.” It just sounded so corny. Now, after reading all of these awesome reviews, I’m going to ask my parents about taking a bunch of the teens in my church an hour away so that we can see it. Unfortunately, it’s not playing anywhere closer.
November 2nd, 2007 at 9:23 am
Oh…now I want to see it so badly! I wish it were in Grand Rapids! =] Maybe if it does I can get work off and see it! My youth pastor was recommending it to everyone…not just the girls!
lol and I think it would such a great movie to see with a bunch of friends! Ok, now I know it’s a little late, but Happy Birthday guys! I love reading your brother’s books and I cant wait to read yours as well! God has gifted you guys so much, never let that go to waste! Quick question…I probably should know this already, but what is your book going to be about?! Anyway, I hope you guys are getting done…I know its crunch time now…God speed and dont worry, it will get done in His timing and in His way! 
God bless,
~Your sis in Christ~
November 2nd, 2007 at 1:01 pm
ha…ok…i take it back, it IS here in G.R.! Im so going now! =]
November 2nd, 2007 at 7:21 pm
I would love to see Bella - I’ve read several positive reviews in the last week and it sounds great. Unfortunately it’s not in any theaters in IA yet!
November 2nd, 2007 at 8:05 pm
Tara - I agree about the grief. Even though I personally have not experienced anything like that, the woman’s screams were almost unbearable - I closed my eyes and shut my ears. I was wondering if anyone else thought that way about it
November 2nd, 2007 at 9:39 pm
We went and saw the movie Bella this afternoon. It’s pro-life message was very encouraging. Our family saw Jose as the prime example of a gentlemen. We talked about his character all the way home from the theater (an hour drive). The family life displayed in the film is what our family strives for everyday.
Dad says the best pro-life stance we Christians could take is to be like Jose. Now wouldn’t that turn the world upside down?
November 2nd, 2007 at 10:02 pm
WOW!!!!! WOW!!!!! WOW!!!!!! Amazing movie! Powerful message! Very clean!!!! I was very much impressed! The church has to have open arms willing to take in the widows and orphans! To have arms wide open to those hurting and in need! We have the truth! We know the One who heals hearts and restores broken worlds! Let’s shine for Christ wherever we go and in whatever we do! Let’s do it for His glory!
November 3rd, 2007 at 12:03 pm
I didn’t know you were going to Japan! Are you going to do conferences there? That would be really neat
I’m still praying for you guys!

Happy Birthday a week late guys! Keep up the good work on your book — I know it’s going to be great. I can’t wait for it to come out.
This movie sounds amazing. I’ve read nothing but good reviews on it. Right now though the closest theater it’s showing at is about 150 miles away. Bummer. I really want to see it. We’re watching for it to come closer…

Any idea if they will be putting Bella on DVD anytime soon? The closest showing in Ohio is way up north. Bella sounds marvelous!

Hey Elisabeth, where “up north” are you talking about? I live in northeast Ohio, but I haven’t seen Bella playing anywhere. Just wondering where you saw that it was playing!
