We noticed that Monumental will be in the theaters on April 13th both at the Spectrum in Irvine and in a theater in Orange. Don and I saw it when it first aired on March 23rd at 8:00 PM. I don’t know if it will show beyond April 13th, so check out the theater times and figure out when you can go.
We would like to encourage you to go see this documentary done by Kirk Cameron. Older high schoolers, parents and grandparents might really catch the vision. Young High Schoolers and Junior Highers might like this movie if they are history buffs. With younger children, I would think that you would get more out of it if you made it a date night and hired a babysitter. But, we encourage all parents, or those of an age considering parenthood, to grab their parents and grandparents and make a night of it. It might give you a “generational perspective.”
Don and I have had a vision for our five children. With the Biblical mandates of loving the Lord God with all your soul, heart and mind, from the Old Testament, and Love your neighbor as yourself, from the New Testament, we figured the best thing we could do for them is to teach them those things. Do we do it perfectly? No. But we do try to do it consistently in all of our parenting efforts.
Monumental, is a documentary type of movie that shows that others before us have had that kind of vision. The pilgrims who first came to America were kind of like us. Did they do everything perfectly? No. But they, too, were consistent in their beliefs and acted on them.
Mr. Cameron has done an excellent job of doing the research to dispel the myths, uncover the mystery, and teach on the memoirs of the Pilgrims. They had a “generational perspective”, or a vision, for their children. Do you?
