About this blog

Hello! You may be wondering what this blog is all about. Why is it called "K-rate"? Let me explain. My name is Kirstin, and I am a teenager in a fallen world. Saved by Christ at an early age, and learning everyday about how amazing, gracious, loving, and forgiving my Savior is, I strive to bring glory to Him every day, through every activity, including movie-watching. One may not think that that is something you need to be concerned about. It is, after all, just a movie, and they 'don't effect us'. Not true, actually. Movies effect us. Plain fact. They determine what we wear, say, how we act in front of others or by ourselves, what we do, sometimes what we eat, and more. They do more than we can imagine, and that is why it is a good idea to guard our eyes and ears from evil, and watch things that God would be pleased with. Though most of the movies we watch have 'scenes' in it, as we call them, we forward them. It does not matter how long it is. My family skips those scenes, and we use a filter that mutes bad language and puts better words up in their place. Both keep us from thinking about those things, and that is God-glorifying.
Now to my reason for creating this blog. It is actually kinda funny. Every time I watch a movie, I have different thoughts about it. I rate it in my mind, try to remember who happened to be in that movie that I've seen in another one, whether it was cute or girlie or action-packed or slow. Whether I liked it or not, and if I would want to watch it again. And, as with every movie, I forget what the title was, and all these details. So, this is a diary-type of blog that allows me to write down all these things about the movies I watch. Because I am a Christian, and I believe this may help many other Christians, I am going to give the Christian view, and whether it is safe for the family (young ones) or not. I hope you enjoy and can use the information I will put on this blog in many ways. =)
Can't wait to get started, but until then, goodbye!
