Rebeca Knowles: ¿Are you living a «Pure Religión» or is it just plain religión?

Thank you so much for being part of our team! You are part of the RONI team when you ...

Pray for the ministry. We are thankful for the tremendous impact our team of prayer warriors have on the Kingdom. Call us and let us know you are praying for us.
Get personally involved. By going overseas as missionary/vacationers, providing office support, teaching a class, leading a workshop or coordinating and helping with special projects.
Encourage us. Every person we meet who cheers us on, wishes us well and tells others about the RONI vision is on the team.
Give financially. You serve by making it possible for others to minister hurting families. RONI has team members who may never go physically, but by their support they are "there," through faithful giving.

"THE STORY OF US" - THE MOVIE'S CLOSING MONOLOGUE

(Katie is played by Michele Pfieffer and Ben is played by Bruce Willis)
KATIE
I think we should go to Chow Fun's.
Ben stops.
BEN (sotto) Chow Fun's? I thought we agreed we couldn't really talk at Chow Fun's.
Katie looking deep into his eyes, responds:
KATIE I know.
Ben crosses over to her.
BEN What are you saying?
KATIE (with resolve) I'm saying Chow Fun's.
BEN Are you saying Chow Fun's because you don't want to face telling the kids?Because if that's why you're saying Chow Fun's, don't say Chow Fun's.
KATIE That's not why I'm saying Chow Fun's.I'm saying Chow Fun's because we're an "us".
There's a history and histories don't happen overnight. In Mesopotamia orAncient Troy or somewhere back there, there were cities built on top of other cities,but I don't want to build another city. I like this city. I know where we keep the Bactine,and what kind of mood you're in when you wake up by which eyebrow is higher. And you alwaysknow that I'm a little quiet in the morning and compensate accordingly. That's adance you perfect over time.
And it's hard, it's much harder than I thought it would be, but there's more good than bad.And you don't just give up. And it's not for the sake of the children, but they're great kidsaren't they? And we made them - Imean think about that - there were no people there and then there were people - twoof them. And they grew. And I won't be able to say to some stranger, "Josh hasyour hands" or "Remember how Erin threw up at the Lincoln Memorial?"
So what if that stranger listens to me? I mean, Lucas Adler listens but then he always says"between you and I" and it should be "between you and me" because "between" isa preposition. And it's not that there's not a charming part about you not rememberingthe washerfluid - which I don't understand why you can't - but that's not ultimatelyimportant. I'll try to remember that those things can be mildly endearing at times andreally not worth not having sex over. And I'll try to relax.
I mean is it the end of the world to have sex when you don't totally feel like it?There are all kinds of sex, aren't there?Comfort sex, tender sex, relief sex, 'I'm not in the mood, but you are" sex...And let'sface it, anybody is going to have traits that get on your nerves, why shouldn't it beyour annoying traits? I'm no day at the beach, but I do have a good sense of directionso at least I can find the beach, but that's not a criticism of you, it's just a strength of mine.
And you're a good friend and good friends are hard to find. Charlotte in "Charlotte's Web"said that and I love the way you read that to Erin - when you take on the voice of Wilbur thepig with such commitment even when you're bone tired. It speaks volumes about character.And ultimately isn't that what it comes down to? What a person's made of at the end of theday? Because that pith helmet girl is still in here - "BEE-BOO, BEE-BOO!" And I didn't evenknow she existed until I met you. And if you leave, I may never see her again - even though Isaid at times you beat her out of me - Isn't that the paradox? Haven't we hit the essentialparadox? Give and take, push and pull, yin and yang, the best of times, the worst of times.I think Dickens said it best. It's the Jack Sprat of it, he could eat no fat, his wife could eat nolean, but that doesn't really apply here. Does it? I mean I guess what I'm trying to say is - I'msaying Chow Fun's because I love you.
After a beat, Ben explodes with sheer joy, grabs Katie and kisses her passionately. We seeJosh and Erin watching their parents stunned at their behavior.
Ben and Katie start getting into the car, as do the kids.
