"We are so grateful to the fans who gave BELLA yet another million-dollar weekend at the box office,” said executive producer Sean Wolfington. “This next weekend will be critical as we expand to 30 new cities, and we hope grassroots supporters will continue to show up and tell their friends about BELLA. This weekend could provide BELLA the momentum we need to continue playing during the all-important holiday season.”
* BELLA grossed close to $1 million this weekend ($3.8 mil to date), maintaining its spot in the top 20 despite showing on less than 300 screens.
* BELLA again outperformed other films on Sunday. Every other film in the country experienced a double-digit decline in sales from the previous day, while BELLA dipped less than 5%.
* BELLA is the #1 movie on the New York Times reader poll
BELLA has also been the #1 fan-rated movie on Fandango.com for 19 straight days, and is also #1 on Yahoo!
* BELLA will expand to 30 additional cities this coming weekend (80 cities total, 400-500 theaters total). A list of specific theaters can be found at www.bellatheaters.com
Good Works = "IF"
I recently was sent a long email asking about good works and the Catholic faith.
When you read through the Bible, you will discover the vast majority of God's promises are CONDITIONAL, meaning only "If" you meet the conditions of the promise, will the promise then be fulfilled in your life. Typically, there is a "God part" and an "our part" associated with the promises of God. "IF" we do the "our part," God will do "His part." Consider the following examples:
"Commit your works to the Lord and your plans will be established" (Proverbs 16:3).
"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will fulfill the desires or your heart" (Psalm 37:4).
Do you see it? "IF" you "commit your works to the Lord," THEN, AND ONLY THEN, God's plans will be established in your life. "IF" you "delight yourself in the Lord," THEN, AND ONLY THEN, will God "fulfill the desires of your heart."
Far too often I hear people and even pastors lay claim to a promise of God without any intention of doing the "our part" to make that promise come true. Then, as time passes and the promise remains unrealized, that person becomes disappointed or discouraged, thinking God hasn't come through for them.
In reality, they simply didn't understand the CONDITIONAL nature of the promise in the first place.

JONAH GOLDBERG: EASE UP ON THE RICH, DEMS
He writes “to hear leading Democrats talk about the "richest 1%" -- a diverse cohort of investors, managers, entrepreneurs and, to be sure, some fat-cat heirs -- one gets the impression that wealthy Americans are a natural resource, to be pumped for as much cash as we need.” He concludes “it's unhealthy for a democracy when the majority of citizens don't see government as a service they're reluctantly paying for but as an extortionist that cuts them in for a share of the loot.”

IRAN: GAYS DESERVE DEATH OR TORTURE
From the story: Mohsen Yahyavi is the highest-ranked politician to admit that Iran believes in the death penalty for homosexuality after a spate of reports that gay youths were being hanged. President Ahmadinejad, questioned by students in New York two months ago about the executions, dodged the issue by suggesting that there were no gays in his country.
I wondering if the homosexual community will now support military action against Iran?
