Gospel of Mark

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Review Wire Media for The Lumo Project. I received information to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation

Following last year’s The Gospel of John comes the second installment in the renowned Gospel film series, The Gospel of Mark, arriving on DVD at Walmart, Digital HD and On Demand March 14 from Lionsgate. Just in time for Easter, the second book of The New Testament comes to life for the first time with a truly unique, word-for-word adaptation that uses the Gospel narrative as its script. Shot on location in Morocco with consultation from expert theologians and biblical scholars and produced by the Lumo Project, the film was given the Dove Faith Friendly Seal for 12+. 

The Gospel of Mark DVD is packed with behind-the-scenes bonus features and will be available for the suggested retail price of $14.98.   According to The Gospel of Mark, Jesus is a heroic man of action, an exorcist, healer, and miracle worker — the Son of God who keeps his identity secret. This critically acclaimed, epic production — five years in the making — is based on the latest theological, historical, and archaeological research, and offers an unforgettable, highly authentic telling of the Jesus story — ending with the empty tomb, a promise to meet again in Galilee, and Jesus’s instructions to spread the good news of the resurrection.

DVD/DIGITAL HD SPECIAL FEATURES

• “Building Jerusalem” Featurette 
• “Composing the Gospels” Featurette

Reggie Bush and wife Lilit Avagyan Expecting Third Child

It's baby number three on the way for Reggie Bush and Lilit Avagyan. The NFL quarterback, 32, and 29 year old Lilit, who is a model, married in July of 2014 at the Grand Del Mar resort in San Diego. Lilit and Reggie are already parents to Briseis, 3, and Uriah, 20 months. Reggie loves being a dad, and wrote about how excited he was to become a father back before Bresis was born. The beautiful mom to be is reported to be in her second trimester.

Reggie famously dated Kim Kardashian back in the mid 2000's, before the couple ultimately split in 2010. Media tabloids have called attention to the fact that Lilit looks a lot like Kim. There are other similiarites as well. Kim and Kanye West were married in May of 2014, and Lilit and Reggie were married in July of the same year. Kim and Kanye are now parents to North, who is 3, and Saint, who is now 15 months old. Lilit and Reggie's two kids are right around the same age. It does seem a little strange that the two couples' lives have mirrored each others so closely, but now it seems like Lilit and Reggie are going to be the first to welcome their third chid together! Congratulations to the happy couple!

Sneaky treats to replace super-sized sweets

We are an active family. Both our youngest kids are involved with sports, so keeping fueled is so important! With Baseball season around the corner, kids are excitedly practicing their plays and Moms are obsessively mapping out schedules.  As parents, we sometimes spend so much time trying to focus on getting everyone where they need to be on time along with making sure they have all their equipment, we often forget the most important thing our kids need - to stayed hydrated and fueled!  You'll def want to skip the sugary filled drinks and opt for water.  As far as snacks please don't send your children with super-sized Snickers, Snickers and bags of chips!  Why not sneak in a sweet, all natural, superfood snack?  After all, diabetes and obesity are on the rise among kids.

Slammers Snacks

Tasty, superfood snacks designed to fuel kids with organic fruits and vegetables.  Not only are they a healthy alternative to sugar-laden candies and other franken-foods that pop up around this time of year, but they are fun, crumb-free snacks that introduce kids to fruits such as mangoes, acai, yumberries, and pomegranates.  They serve as a great source of essential vitamins, and some flavors, including Creamy Banana Chocolate (our newest, with the least amount of sugar!) come packed with seven grams of protein.  Our youngest son is thirteen and plays club baseball, so while we play year round, we are coming upon the busiest time of year.  As a growing, active boy, he needs something that's going to give him some protein, not something filled with sugar, which will only weigh him down.  We tried these drinks for two weeks, during games and after practises.  He loved them! While they are def better cold, they don't have to be refrigerated.  Which makes them easy to throw in his baseball bag, cooler or even my purse!  It was quick, a healthier option and he seemed to enjoy them!  His favorite - Creamy Banana Chocolate!  

Opening Date Set for Newest Chick-fil-A in Vegas

 Chick-fil-A, Inc. announced the grand opening date of its third restaurant in the Las Vegas area. The restaurant, located at 2477 S. Rancho Drive in Las Vegas is set to open on March 30. The restaurant will be independently owned and operated by local resident Cole Donahoo and will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Saturday.

The first two just opened not too long ago and the lines have been off the hook! But don't let the crowds deter you! We checked it out to see what the wait time was like.  The line was outside the door and it still took us less than 30 minutes to order! We were very impressed on how quickly and efficiently the crowds were handled! This restaurant opening on Shara is much closer for us and I cannot wait for opening!  From their fresh, handmade daily biscuits to their fresh squeezed lemonade, can't get any better than that! Yum! See you there on March 30th!
