Love's Abiding Joy

Like the title suggests, this is an adaptation by Janette Oke co-produced by Micheal Landon Jr (who I think has a contract to do all sappy, Christian-type films set in the west). I think I read the books when I was way younger and remember not really crying, but just weeping that I would read a book about so much hardship when life really has enough of that of it's own. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof...I think that's from the BIble. Anyway, it's the fourth in a series where someone important dies and nearly devistates everyone, someone 'hooks up', and everything turns out just great in the end. Come to think of it, that was the plot in the first three too. For some reason, I seem to be a sucker for these 'feel bad then good' type movies. But this one grabbed me the wrong way this time. Yeah, I'd even probably watch it again, but the dialogue was so awful. Hire a screenwriter for crying out loud. All in all, it wasn't a painful movie per se, only if you had the sound up.
