"Who healeth all thy diseases."-Psalm 103:3
    
    Humbling as is the statement, yet the fact is certain, that we are all more or less suffering under the disease of sin. What a comfort to know that we have a great Physician who is both able and willing to heal us! Let us think of Him awhile to-night. His cures are very speedy-there is life in a look at Him; His cures are radical-He strikes at the centre of the disease; and hence, His cures are sure and certain. He never fails, and the disease never returns. There is no relapse where Christ heals; no fear that His patients should be merely patched up for a season, He makes new men of them: a new heart also does He give them, and a right spirit does He put with them. He is well skilled in all diseases. Physicians generally have some specialite. Although they may know a little about almost all our pains and ills, there is usually one disease which they have studied above all others; but Jesus Christ is thoroughly acquainted with the whole of human nature. He is as much at home with one sinner as with another, and never yet did He meet with an out-of-the-way case that was difficult to Him. He has had extraordinary complications of strange diseases to deal with, but He has known exactly with one glance of His eye how to treat the patient. He is the only universal doctor; and the medicine He gives is the only true catholicon, healing in every instance. Whatever our spiritual malady may be, we should apply at once to this Divine Physician. There is no brokenness of heart which Jesus cannot bind up. "His blood cleanseth from all sin." We have but to think of the myriads who have been delivered from all sorts of diseases through the power and virtue of His touch, and we shall joyfully put ourselves in His hands. We trust Him, and sin dies; we love Him, and grace lives; we wait for Him and grace is strengthened; we see Him as he is, and grace is perfected for ever.

When Calls the Heart: The Dance DVD

About When Calls the Heart: The Dance:
When Calls the Heart The Dance, Produced and directed by Michael Landon Jr. and inspired by the best-selling books by Janette Oke, tells the story of Elizabeth Thatcher (Erin Krakow), a young high society woman, working as a teacher in a prairie town in the Western Frontier. When a group of bachelor minors come to help reopen the mine, the local Mounty. Jack Thorton (Daniel Lissing), finds himself in competition for Elizabeth’s affections. When items start disappearing from the town, Jack is immediately suspicious that his rival might also be a thief. Also stars Lori Loughlin as Abigail Stanton, a widow and mother whose husband, along with a dozen other miners, was killed in an explosion at the local mine.

I'm a Janette Oke book fan so I was excited when I heard about the When Calls the Heart movie series coming out. Janette Oke's When Calls the Heart series appeared on TV, however, we don't have a TV so I didn't get to watch the TV series.  I was bummed out about that.  I was ecstatic when I was asked by Edify Media to review The Dance DVD.  Having my own copy of the movie is a much better arrangement now I can watch it over and over again.

The Dance movie is the fourth When Calls the Heart series movie to be released.  However, I don't feel that I missed anything by watching this one first.  I was so delighted to watch this movie while I was on the 20 hour train ride to visit my parents two weeks ago.  The movie is a nice mix of mystery and suitable romance.  The characters are enjoyable and I'm hooked, but I was hooked before. The Dance is a wonderful movie for the whole family; we will be hooked too.  There is a brief bar room scene with a bit of a scuffle, but there is no bad language or nudity.  Michael Landon Jr. has done another wonderful job at producing something the whole family can watch and enjoy.
