Hearties Reunion Analysis

Superior Essays
Since the Hearties reunion has done so well for the past two years, what are the projections for a third one?

If Hearties help earn us a Season five, we will absolutely throw a third version of the Hearties Family Reunion in Vancouver. I’m convinced that this worldwide Hearties movement is not a fluke and that it’s the single biggest reason why the show has continued through four seasons. But I also believe the Hearties are bigger than WCTH. This is a movement… community… that can outlive our show and be a force for good to be reckoned with in our culture for decades to come. The world absolutely has a shortage of family and faith-friendly programming. The Hearties are not only a result of that shortage… but also the answer to it. They

In fact, my initial response was, "That's the real Brian Bird!" I know I've never met the man, but I have followed him and his work closely over the past few years. I have watched his interactions on social media, and I have heard a wide variety of stories from Hearties who have met him (Don't worry--I don't believe EVERYTHING I hear). I will never forget my first genuine interaction with him online. I wrote a review of When Calls the Heart season one, and I don't even remember why I sent it his way. Maybe a fellow Heartie suggested it. But when he responded and said what a fine job I had done, I was dumbfounded. And this writer/interviewer/reviewer doesn't forget things like that. I know some Hearties are critical of the show, the writers, the costumes, and so much more. But that is all superfluous in my opinion. At the heart of everything is this man who is quietly following God's calling on his life to provide family-friendly entertainment for a sect of society that all too often Hollywood has overlooked and even cast aside. While not every episode is my very favorite in the world, I will support this show and continue to get the word out because it is the one show my entire family can watch together! The only one, mind you!! And I have Brian Bird and his phenomenal cast and crew to thank for that. I am grateful that he chose to follow God's leading in this area, and he has chosen to keep championing the cause of the Hearties in spite of any obstacles that attempt to bar his way. I invite everyone reading this article to tune in Sunday nights to the Hallmark Channel to watch the show that is the very heart of TV--When Calls the Heart. Also, please consider checking out all his links below and following him on social media so that you don't miss any of his current and upcoming projects. And while I may never be able to tell

    I am struggling to stay awake during the season opener for the Royals coming off a weekend in Branson for Young Christian’s Weekend. Memories I never want to forget: Seeing Sydney smile while I teased her, witnessing one of “my kids” pray for the group for the first time, spending time with the Boyt family…missing them, but knowing God has them where he wants them, ride home conversations with the adult leaders - learning their testimonies and hearts, wondering why one of the boys would throw his baseball mitt on top of the church when everybody is ready to go home, hearing kids call out my name hundreds of times, startling Courtney out of her sleep three times (and laughing at her each time), watching Holly walk up the hill trying to find…

    The film, Miss Evers’ Boys was about an inhumane study of African American men suffering from syphilis. The film evolved around Eunice Evers, a nurse in a local Tuskegee hospital and her statement about the “Tuskegee study”. Dr. Brodus, the head doctor of the local Tuskegee hospital along with Nurse Evers were given fund to treat men with syphilis or what they called “bad blood” (Benedetti, Fishburne, Kavanagh, Konwiser & Sargent, 1997). These men were not very educated, and their health literacy were very low, so Nurse Evers had to use words that they could understand.

    Abandonment: Sunil’s Drive to Survive in Behind the Beautiful Forevers Behind the Beautiful Forevers, by Katherine Boo, records the quotidian lives of interconnected residents in Annawadi, a Mumbai slum. In this “under city”(Boo, xii) , we are introduced to individuals fighting the recursive loop of poverty. Boo depicts this reality as both a disturbing and moving testament to the hope and strength of individuals living in desperation. The juxtaposition of the glinting glass of airports and bustling hotels abutting the slums of Annawadi lends itself to seduction, providing Annawadians with optimism that “the future would look nothing like the past” (xvii).…

    There are many religious connotations in Only Lovers Left Alive, Twilight, and Interview with a Vampire. For instance, the books and the film have common references to the book of Genesis in the bible. Therefore, God creating man from clay can be compared to vampires creating or turning other humans into vampires. As well as, the temptations of Adam and Eve from eating from the tree of knowledge can be related to the vampires and their temptations to avoid feeding from humans. Therefore, in Genesis, Adam and Eve were banished from Eden because of their sin.…

    This world has a cultural bias that has spread land to land into the minds and hearts of almost every person. This bias is hurting everyone, and forcing a sense of false optimism and blinding us to the truth. This bias says that people are at their own personal fault for not being happy and it is killing the varied emotions that have grown through evolution to help the human species survive. The idea that a person should be happy, simply because another person is worse off is hurting everyone.…

    Family Assessment Assignment According to Potter and Perry (2010), a family assessment is necessary to provide sufficient family care and support. A family assessment gives the community health nurse an overall picture of the family’s structure and functions. Family health concerns are acknowledged and family strengths are emphasized by completing a family assessment (Stanhope, Lancaster, Jessup-Falcioni, & Viverais-Dresler, 2011). This paper will examine a family assessment that I conducted with a family and will include a completed genogram (see Appendix A) and ecomap (see Appendix B).…

    After reading the poem "Remember" by Joy Harjo, I think that that the poem talks about how everything on the earth is connected. I get this belief after reading about how the writer tells people to remember how the earth is our skin and that the wind speaks. Thru out the poem I found multiple ways the writer tells about how we are all connected to each other and that all living things are connected. For example in the first two lines of the poem the writer says "Remember the sky that you were born under, know each of the star's stories"(Harjo 1-2). To me it sounds like the writer wants us to remember how we were all born under the same sky and that each of us has seen the stars above us.…
