So you remember me mentioning the other day when I sent out dozens of emails to different organizations for hopes of endorsements and quotes right? Well, I received some very positive responses! God has really blown my mind in the last 48 hours or so with many things, but the comments I’ve gotten back concerning STANDING FIRM are very encouraging. I woke up the other day with a voicemail from Randall Murphree from the American Family Association. He had watched the film and really had a lot of great things to say. He sent over a quote that was very generous and I had the pleasure of speaking to him on the phone this past afternoon. What a warm guy he is! Very encouraging and had a lot of wonderful things to say about the film. He’s looking to help me in anyway he can so I look forward to what might come out of this for the future of the film. A review of STANDING FIRM will be available in the August issue of the AFA Journal which circulates to 165,000 homes. This is a very big thing for me, and I’m flattered. Here’s the quote given:
“Standing Firm is a dramatic portrayal of one family’s tragedy and the challenges they face in a struggle to survive – financially, relationally and spiritually. Production qualities are top-notch, the story is gripping and the power of God to transform lives is crystal clear. Believers will find it a dynamite tool to share the gospel with others.”
- Randall Murphree, Editor AFA Journal

I received another email from Dan Royle at Moody Radio who enjoyed the film as well. Hopefully some radio promotion will be possible.
“Whether you’re trying to lead a friend or family member to Christ, or you’re a new convert yourself, this film is inspirationally true to the struggles of life. The veracity of unwavering love shines bright!”
- Dan Royle, Moody Radio
God is good! I was so excited to get these kinds of comments back, and I look forward to others that could come in. The Dove Foundations review should be available soon. I hope I get 5-Doves, that would mean a lot to me. FINGERS CROSSED! If not no biggy 
Something I forgot to mention… When I was on the phone with Randall, he prayed for me, the film, and even my relationship with Denise. It almost made me cry hearing him pray about all that stuff. My lip was quivering like crazy. Randall if you happen to come across my blog, thank you so much for your generosity and for being such an encouragement!
I found out an unfortunate fact today, I overdrew my personal checking account. Apparently I had used the wrong card in buying something recently because I got hit with two overdraft charges and I’m in the hole. Tomorrow I need to run over there and deposit something from my business account to take care of things. I’ve had that checking account since I was a kid, and it’s the first time this has happened. Honest mistake…I’ll get it taken care of.
By the way, if anyone out there knows anyone who is in the Christian arena who might take interest in my film please email me and let me know. I would be happy to share it with them in hopes of another great quote/endorsement!
Lots of work to do in the next two weeks…it’s going to be insane. Prayers appreciated.
