Sound of Freedom






 I don't usually like to put out new posts before the last one has run for a bit. However, I feel the need to write this while it's still fresh in my mind. 

Today I went to the movie theatre for the first time in almost fifty years. The last movie I saw in a theater was Bo Derrick in the movie-10. The movie I saw today left me with a much more inspired feeling and was just overall a better movie, delivering a message that needs to be shared with the world.

Sound of Freedom explores the world of child sex trafficking. Unfortunately, it's a world wide problem. The movie is based on a true story. It takes place initially in the country of Honduras, and then Columbia. It stars Jim Caviezel , who was also the main character in the hit TV series Person of Interest and the movie, The Count of Monte Cristo. He's an excellent actor, and I believe he's been involved in several movies that address spiritual issues. He may have even played Christ in one movie.

While the subject matter is disturbing, it nonetheless needs to be addressed. Not all of the children abducted for the sex trade are from foreign countries, and even if they were, it's still not acceptable. The movie states that child trafficking is a multi billion dollar business and that most of the children are sold into slavery in this country, the good ol' USA. What does that say about us? There is so much public outcry about global climate change, and yet so little about something that affects us even more than that. Can you imagine that your little girl or boy  or one of your grandchildren was abducted and then spirited off to be abused by some pervert who gets his jollies from raping children? We all need to take a stand and put an end to this despicable practice. 

In the movie Jim Caviezel says - God's children are not for sale." They are most certainly not. One might wonder why God allows this to happen, why doesn't He save them? Maybe He's calling on us to act.

 The movie is put out by Angel Studios. On their web site they have a button that allows you to donate a ticket to another person who may want to see the movie but doesn't have the money. For $15.00 you can get the word out to someone else. It's money well spent I believe.

I saw that the studio had to fight for the right to publish this movie, there were powers that be that didn't want the movie to be made. Disney may have had a hand in trying to stop this. So much for the happiest place on earth.

If you haven't seen this movie yet, I hope that you will before it's no longer available. I think it will be an eye opener.

    This must stop ! American is the leader of the free world and we allow this horrific injustice to our most precious children. Shame, shame, and more shame.

      I couldn't agree more. Look how far we have fallen in our own eyes and in the eyes of the world. When the light becomes darkness, who will the people look to for leadership? Those who call on the name of the Lord need to make a stand. Pray that God will protect these innocent children and that those who seek to do them harm will be caught and prosecuted.

The Sick Pack

      Jen came for a visit the other night. Apparently she had picked up a cold when she went to Juneau last week. Nothing like being crammed into a confined space with hundreds of other folks to test the old immune system. I hadn't seen much of her recently so I kind of wanted to talk to her and show her what I was doing with the new book and get some input. I knew that she was sick, so before she arrived I grabbed out a large bottle of Cran-raspberry juice for her to take home. I guess it's full of vitamin C or some such thing. Then I got to thinking, maybe I should get a mask for her to wear so I  don't catch her cold. She thought that was funny, but she didn't wear it, maybe because it was a dust mask like you'd use when sanding sheet rock and not one like doctors and nurses wear. I guess if a doctor wanted to do a little construction around his house he'd have a ready store of surgical supplies on hand and wouldn't have to worry

The End of an Era

  I was going to do a blog post about my last days of fishing on the Bonnie J. I've given the boat to a worthy person I believe and I wanted to reflect a little bit on my time with her, but yesterday my son Brian called with the news that my friend and long time Hoonah resident Fagan Skaflestad had passed away. It came as quite  a shock to me for some reason. I don't know why. He was in his early eighties I believe, but he always seemed so robust, so full of life. He was one of those guys that just seemed like would live forever. I can't even recall when we first met, I feel like I've known him most of my life. His family has been around Hoonah for decades. His dad, Alf, had a logging business and he and the boys logged up and down Port Frederick for years. They had a camp up in Salt Lake Bay if I recall correctly, and Fagan used to tell me about running around in a skiff up in the Narrows, fishing for King Salmon. He had the uncanny ability of finding fish when few oth

Clear but Cold

Behind Lumbago Way Frozen mud flats Spud Creek's frozen     For most of the three weeks that I was in Juneau for jury duty, the weather was clear and very cold. For the better part of the first week I knew it was clear, but we couldn't see the blue sky above because of fog. It was so severe that the commercial jets were forced to fly over Juneau and of course there were no small commuter flights between Juneau and the outlying areas, which meant no mail or freight that would normally be sent via airplanes. Jan always gets a little claustrophobic when it gets like that. It's a terrible feeling to think that you can't get out of here if you need to. When I finally got back home, I decided to go out and get a few pictures of the mud flats that surround Garteeni Creek. The creek itself was still flowing somewhat and the Mallards and Canadian Honkers were availing themselves of whatever there was to eat in the stream. I've heard stories of ducks being froz
