Movies on (my!) mind, Sandra tvgp
Spacing, grammar, punctuation all at the mercy of this I-pad. -and most frustrating of all... The inability to scroll down to anything beyond what shows in the 1st, visible page. - Does any of this stop me? No. And if this I-pad crashed, I would drive to the library and use the computer there -if my car got a flat, I would still walk there. -if the power went out at the Pleasanton library I would hitch hike to the Livermore library. -the God given instinct in me to write -It is equal, in it's life sustaining nature, to my instincts for love, sleep, food, water and sex. And so despite a list of obstacles I will not bore you with: "I've got movies on my mind!!" And I'm going to type to you about it. -as desperately as the whole world needs to see a genuine love love story, the whole world needs to see a documentary about Joyce Meyers life. Here's the thing.. Her enjoying everyday life program has and does reach bazillions of people around the world. But! There is still this other equally important percentage of our world population who would never watch her tv church show but who would watch a movie about her life on the silver screen. Surely to God! There is a director, producer, cinematographer, etc who sees the potential like I do: /if this thing will please allow me to bullet point. $: sufferings in her childhood include being raped by her father over 200 times. Her mother unable to cope does nothing to stop it. $: takes herself @ age 9 or 10 + recruits her cousins to "get saved" at a local church, only the pastor that day neglects to have an alter call. -she makes her way up to the front anyway and insists! On being saved. (oh, I love that). -is deceived by the devil shortly after that she has not been saved because she cheats during a hide and seek game. Skip..to $: marries a petty theft, abusive womanizer man. $: steals money from a place where she worked.. $ eventually divorces. Will one day go back and confess stealing crime to former employer. $: always it's somewhere in her heart and mind to have a ministry. A big ministry! $: meets and marries Dave Meyers who himself had prayed to fall in love with someone who needed help. Gets more than he prayed or bargained for in his spitfire of a damaged and rebellious wife. Dave takes it.. Takes it... Takes it.. Until he can't take it anymore.. Finally confronts Joyce after reading a book and receiving holy instruction/permission from God.. On the brink of divorce but God also confronts Joyce via prayer and she ultimately starts to surrender and submit to her husband when after so many years of abuse she had sworn! To never let a man tell her what to do. $her first home bible study class she describes herself as wearing short-shorts with a cigarette in her hand. (oh, that's another one of my favorites!).$ They have 4 children on shoe string budget and have to "believe for socks... Believe for kitchen towels.. Etc. /$/. Cute story and scene of her cheating on the use of one per family coupons at the grocery store.. Sending her kids in one line, herself in another..$ her ambitions to minister result in being kicked out of church and losing many friends -$ small van for a long time for tracvelingministry work. $ ministry grows from 20 people in a house to global tv channels, many radio stations, dream centers/hope centers around the world.. Countless best selling Christian books. $ULTIMATELY takes care of the father that raped/abused her once he has reached his senior years -forgives him! And he apologizes and accepts Jesus shortly before he dies. -hers & daves marriage has lasted over 40 years.. They have helped, saved more people than can be calculated.. She is a direct example of passage in 1 Corinthians 1:26-
