I didn’t like Kirk Cameron’s character in Growing Pains over 20 years ago because he seemed like a lazy kid. But I enjoyed the character he played in Fireproof a few years ago. Did you know he has a wife and six kids now? I am excited to see his latest movie, Monumental, about the Pilgrims, especially since I found out a while ago that I am descended from not just one, but four of the Pilgrims: John Howland, his wife Elizabeth Tilley, and her parents. When I was 10 my family toured Plymouth Plantation over Thanksgiving weekend. Little did we know we were treading the sacred ground of my mother’s ancestors. Now I know where my grandfather’s hardy genes come from that allowed him to grow a farm in the desert of southern Nevada.

Here’s a great interview Kirk did with the guys at Wallbuilders (I listen to the Wallbuilders podcasts at http://wallbuilderslive.com  for a Christian, limited-government perspective on the news and politics). I really like David Barton, the founder of Wallbuilders, although I don’t agree with everything he says. The interview with Kirk is here http://wallbuilderslive.com/archives.asp?d=201203 then scroll down the page to the March 22 interview.
