Do You Check In?

       Androids and iPhones are becoming more popular as each day passes. The number of people who use different social networking sites is on the rise. For about the last 6 months or more people have been very fond of "checking in" where ever they may be. Some people even check in at their own house! Here at the office we looked at this comic and it got us wondering, "How often do we check in with God through out the day and/or week?" Some people may have a very good and deep prayer life, but the reality is most Catholic-Christians and Christians do not spend more than 5 minutes in prayer a day. As a society we spend numerous hours on the computer, phones, iPod, iPad, and in front of the television, but not much time is alloted to our Heavenly Father who created us. Our Father loves us so much and it brings Him joy when we check in with Him through out the day. There are many ways to check in with Him. It could be as simple as, "Hi Jesus", "I Love you Jesus", "Thank you Jesus." Maybe take 10 minutes out of your day and dive into the Scriptures. If you have the chance to visit Him in Adoration or daily Mass, even better! Though our lives may be hectic, there is always time to check in with our Heavenly Father. Even though there are football games on, different fall festivals to attend this weekend, and the list can go on, try to "Check In" with Jesus this weekend, outside of Sunday Mass :)

     We hope you have a great weekend! Please continue to pray for Lumen Entertainment, for the film, everyone who is working on the film, and for our monetary needs. Thank you and have a wonderful and blessed weekend. ~Lumen Crew

Did You Know...

 Happy Friday to all! There is much to celebrate today here in the office. It's Friday, Cuban Coffee, Brian's wife's due date, and the feast day of Our Lady of the Rosary.We have had our guests back today as they are working on their video. So the office has been filled with much excitement!

October 7th- Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary/Victory

On October 7th did you know...

 1. The Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. Check out our friends at Catholic Fire, for a great explanation on why we honor Our Lady today. 

 2. 10 years ago The War in Iraq started. Ironic it started on the Feast day of our Lady... I think not! With our Heavenly Mother's aid there will be peace in Iraq, it may not be as quick as we want it. "I believe that the Blessed Virgin chose to be known as "Our Lady of Fatima" as a pledge and a sign of hope to the Muslim people, and as an assurance that they, who show her so much respect, will one day accept her Divine Son too!" Archbishop Fulton Sheen.

3. Brian's wife, Cristi, is due today with her 6th child! We know the baby is a boy, but no official name yet. Please keep her and the baby in your prayers! We pray for a safe delivery! 

 

  "In 1954, Joanne Schiebel was a young unmarried college student who discovered that she was pregnant. In the 1950s, her options were limited. She could have had an abortion – but the procedure was both dangerous and illegal. She could have gotten married, but she wasn’t ready and didn’t want to interrupt her education. Joanne opted, instead, to give birth to the baby and put him up for adoption.

And so it was that in 1955, a California couple named Paul and Clara Jobs adopted a baby boy, born out of wedlock, whom they named Steven. Choose Life.
Rest in Peace, Steve Jobs..."

    What a powerful testimony to the importance of choosing life in every situation. Steve Job's the owner of Apple inc. passed away on October 5th, 20011. He battled Pancreatic cancer and liver ailments. If his mother had aborted him, we would not have our iPods, iPad, Mac Books, iPhones, iTunes, and Pixar. Steve Jobs helped fund Pixar when it was struggling financially in the beginning. If Steve Jobs had been aborted we would not have a Pro-Life Movie. As most of you know we have animators from Pixar doing free lance animation for our movie. Steve's wife and children will be in our prayers. 

We pray that you have a great weekend and please remember to keep the Shields family in your prayers and for a safe delivery.  ~Lumen Crew
