Something most teenagers don’t know: studios were once regulated by a Motion Picture Code established in the 1930s to protect the values and moral concepts society considered the standard to live by. Violent acts had to be filmed in a way that would not jolt the viewer. Actors could not utter “God” or “Jesus” in a profane manner. And nudity and perversity could not be shown.

Atlantic/Ardent/INO's Artist and Group of the Year Dove-nominated recording group Skillet has announced details of their upcoming headline tour. The “Awake & Alive Tour” begins April 15th at Scranton, Pennsylvania’s Scranton Cultural Center and then continues through late May (see itinerary below or click here on the Concert Finder). Joining the Grammy-nominated rock outfit on the trek will be fellow nominees RED, whose most recent effort, “Innocence & Instinct,” climbed its way to the Top 5 on iTunes Top Albums chart. Also joining the tour will be hard rock outfit, The Letter Black.

Fans flocked to her angelic voice with her debut solo album, “Don’t Wait,” over three years ago on BEC Recordings. Today (March 9, 2010) fans will get another taste of Adie with her sophomore release, “Just You And Me,” which features a collection of 10 worshipful songs, including some well known tunes as well as a few new surprises. Adie describes the music as more “organic and raw” than her solo debut.

“This year I’m truly learning what it is to seek the Lord with all my heart and sitting at His feet without things being a distraction to me, hence the title of the album ‘Just You And Me,” shares Adie. “I want to grow so much more and learn what it is to really worship Him in spirit and truth.”

Trailer 2 for the movie Iron Man 2 is now out. It still looks good!

We learn a few new things in this trailer and we get to see some new images, so it is a great 2nd trailer. The suitcase armor at the end is awesome!

Like someone else asked, "I wonder if this movie is going to make any money?"

Last night, like many of you we watched the Academy Awards on TV. Since we have this platform to give our opinion, and since we definitely have an opinion here are some thoughts on the Oscars and the awards show:

It was great to see Sandra Bullock win for her acting in Blind Side. We did not expect her to win. It seems that the politics of the Oscars would be against a win for an actress in a decidedly conservative, if not outright Christian film.

Steve Martin is still funny!

Former Dallas Mavericks coach Avery Johnson, fired just two years after leading his team to within two games of the NBA title, told the annual NBA All-Star Breakfast that faith has helped him overcome adversity.

It's not too early to start shopping for prom! In fact, shopping now might earn you a nice discount on the dress of your dreams! With a slow economy, many bridal and special occasion shops have inventory left over from last year’s prom and from Christmas formals. To make room for incoming spring formals and prom attire, many retailers are having huge sales on in stock dresses! On a recent trip to a bridal store with my daughter, we found a $378 gown for under $75!

2010 prom fashion looks to be sassy, 80’s inspired, yet more conservative in fashion than in recent years. By conservative I mean, the looks are bold, fun and exciting…but there do not seem to be many dresses that have cut outs, bare mid-drifts or are super short. This is great news for Christian girls looking to sport the hottest trends while still being true to their conservative values.

Scripture: Luke 17:11-17

11Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy[a]met him. They stood at a distance 13and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!"

14When he saw them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed.

It’s tax time, so I have been communicating through e-mail with our accountant. We started taking our taxes to Bob eleven years ago when we lived in the town where his business is located. We’ve moved twice since then, but continued to have Bob do our taxes even though our first move was almost four hours away.

Monopoly for the Wii, Do Not Pass Go

By P-RAY for SavedGamers

Wii Monopoly, not much fun.

Being a guy who has a family, we own a couple of game systems. We have a 360 for the more hardcore games, and we have a Wii so our kids can waggle to their hearts content. When we saw one of the best selling games of all time on one of the best selling consoles of all time, we were excited,and decided to rent the title.
