Christy Youtube song

For Valentine's Day, I thought I'd post a video I just found on youtube. I netflixed the show Christy last week, and really enjoyed it. Its a great Christian family show, and I loved the book by Catherine Marshall ever since I read it in junior high. Find out more about Catherine Marshall here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_Marshall

So here is a one of those song videos on youtube on the romance of Christy and the doctor. I think the song by Dana Glover is very beautiful and romantic.

Happy Valentine's Day! Melissa

Event Details:
We will begin the evening with a delicious meal at 5pm and the show will start at 6pm. The story is built around a modern-day family on vacation at a much-publicized Bed & Breakfast, loacted on the mile-high precipice of a deep canyon. Their New Year's Eve stay goes awry, however, when they find that the lodge is full of animated goofballs, while a screwy bellhop keeps tossing their entire luggage into the cavernous canyon. Sam, the father, becomes increasingly unraveled as he has to keep traversing 347 flights of stairs to retrieve his stuff. This show offers something for everyone, you'll be laughing about it long after that evening
