October Baby

Go see October Baby starting March 23rd!

An Arresting Film

On Camera

Yesterday afternoon, after morning church services and lunch, we kids worked on producing a short video about the Sanctity of Human Life and the abortion issue.  We were able to get it all filmed (it was just a talking head), and even filmed a short spoof on atheists, which we'll post soon, hopefully.  (For some reason, there were no pictures taken during the filming of the Sanctity of Human Life video.)

Joel Kautt, as "Really Darkins".

I was the camera operator on this production.

And, here I am again.  You can see the "teleprompter" in the background. 

"We here at the..."

Scene 2, Take 3 - action!

Abby did a great job working the "teleprompter".  We just connected our laptop up to our TV, and it showed the words that were to be spoken large enough to read from a distance.

Adjusting the lights...

Get Service

This is a great film. Though it may not have much talking in it and is short, it carries a great message! It will make you cry.

The Widow's Might

John Moore's fantastic movie, The Widow's Might began showing in theaters across this country. Unfortunately, it is not showing here in the DFW area. But, if you want to take a little road trip to a beautiful part of our state, then you might consider going to watch it at the Carmike theater in Tyler about 2.5 hours away. You can find locations and show times here.

I would strongly urge you to go support this film, you will be blessed and inspired by its powerful, family friendly and God honoring message!!!

Steadfast in Christ,
Abby

Widow's Might to be shown in theaters starting April 13th!

Wow! The Lord has sure been working through John Moore's film The Widow's Might since its premier at the SACIFF in January.

From John's blog: "A lot of things have been progressing and happening over the course of the last few weeks, and the biggest and most sudden news is that The Widow's Might will be receiving a limited theatrical run starting on April 13'th.
This doesn't give much time to get the word out, but we hope you all will take this opportunity to spread the word. Also, April 1 is the last day to get the film on DVD, before the final cut with special features is released to DVD in July."

So, spread the word. Post the trailer on your blog or site, facebook it, twitter it, and send the word to people on your email list who would be interested! Let's fill up the theaters for Christ's honor and glory!

Steadfast in Christ,
Abby Kautt

Come What May

So, last night we watched Come What May, the amazing movie about Caleb and Rachel and their struggle to make a reasonable case infront of their moot court about overturning Roe v. Wade.

I thought that the music, filming and location were all very excellent, the acting and the transitions between each scene, were a little rough. Over all though, I was really touched by the messages sent in this first feature film for Advent Film Group.

You can watch the trailer here, and if you want more info about AFG, you can log onto their site.

See the hilarious YouTube video over at Abby's blog.

Make sure and leave your comments!

So long~

Wow! So it seems like just yesterday that I got back from AR, but in reality it's been a week and a half already! Boy does time fly!

So, I would like to apologise for not keeping you all updated on the happenings around the Kautt Haus. I "hit the ground running" as it were as soon as I arrived back. I have written up some thoughts concerning our recent excursion, but unfortunately they are on Joel's pc, and I have been having a bit of a problem accessing them. I will try my best and have them posted this week! ;)

Besides that, here are some of the events of the past couple of weeks:

• Labor Day - Hurricane Gustav slams into the Gulf Coast wrecking havoc
• The Republican National Convention is "post-poned" due to the hurricane, Tue. is the "first" real night of events. We watched quite a lot of the goings on, and to be honest with you I was quite disgusted by the end of all of the McCain propaganda I heard and saw. I am not a fan of his!
• Sarah Palin accepts the RNC's nomination to be the Vice President of the USA. Her speech was very interesting, and I was appreciative of her views. Still not voting for her though.
• Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty holds a "counter" convention - The Rally for the Republic - in Minneapolis, drawing at least 13,000 supporters. Media coverage was very strong for this event, C-Span2 covered the entire venue on their network. I was so excited to hear about that!
• Dad begins a series of sermons on the "7-C's of history" - about the importance of Apologetics at our church. We hold the grand opening of our Creation Library - a good turnout. People are beginning to see the connections. Beliving in a literal 6 day, 24-hour creation is the foundation to the rest of the Bible. Undermine it and you undermine the authority of the Word of God.
• It continues to be hot in Texas. Though, right now it looks like rain, and earlier this evening it was sprinkling.
• Ron Paul announces a very important announcement scheduled for this coming Wed. at the National Press Club in D.C.
• Pray for the people of Cuba and Hati who have been hit hard by 4 major tropical storms in the last several weeks. At last count, over 300 had perished in Hati alone.
• Hurrican Ike is set to hit the Gulf Coast this week. Texas and Louisiana brace against the approaching storm.
• There are now less than 60 days until the general election here in the US. Pray for Righteousness to prevail. "Righteousness exalts a nation..."
• We draw inspirition from The Hiding Place a film based on the life and testimony of Corrie ten Boom and her family - hider of Jews and outcasts in Nazi occupied Holland during the second world war. I highly recommend this film to you and your family. Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem.
• We begin preparations to represent our Uncle Jim & Aunt Naomi's ministry at this years National Missionary Convention in Tulsa, OK. This year's convention is November 20-23 at the Tulsa convention center. We attended the NMC in 2000.

Those are just some of the major events that have been happening lately. We need to constantly be lifting up our nation and her many needs to our loving heavenly Father. We need your mercy and guidance O Lord.

:: Expelled ::

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed

The new hard hitting film / documentary Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, starring actor / activist Ben Stein is set to be released nation-wide Friday April 18th.

We had the opportunity to watch the trailer and from what I could tell, it was very well done.

This film has received high praise from Answers In Genesis. They have a helpful review of Expelled up on the homepage.

Answers in Genesis' founder Ken Ham had the following to say regarding the film: “I urge everyone not to miss Expelled. I found it riveting, eye-opening, even astonishing. Ben Stein does a masterful job of exposing the ruthlessness of evolutionists who will go after anyone who challenges or merely questions Darwinian orthodoxy. I was on the edge of my seat—entertained yet instructed.” - Ken Ham

I would encourage you to go watch the trailer and I would also encourage you to go watch the film. You can find out if this film will be shown in your city by clicking on the Theater locator button on their homepage.
