When Will Great American Family Start Playing Movies Again? -- SEE HERE:

"When Will Great American Family Start Playing Movies Again?" is THE QUESTION I see all of the time, since Great American Family stopped playing their movies back at the beginning of April. During this break, GAF's movies have instead aired weekends on the all-new Merit Street Channel; however, this hasn't sufficed viewers, who have repeatedly asked when the movies will return regularly on Great American Family.

Well, today, I have an exciting answer to share with all of you...

A commenter on Instagram, whose name is *luckymommasue*, politely asked the network, 

"Will you ever start doing more movies throughout the year? I'd love to watch your channel more but I don't enjoy the evening schedule"

Great American Family replied, "Don't worry, we've got a steady stream of movies coming your way on Great American Family over the next few months! ❤️🎬

Here's a screen-grab of the exchange:

Yay! Movies are coming back soon on Great American Family—a "steady stream" of them! That is such terrific news! I hope we will see many of our beloved favorites return. I wonder if they will air during the week, like before, or on the weekends? We'll have to be sure to keep an eye out for any schedule updates and additional news. If any of you catch anything, please let me know!

Until then, happy watching!

Make Special May Moments and Memories --- Details on NEW "When Calls the Heart," "Blue Ridge," and "Into the Wild Frontier" -- SEE HERE:

Happy Weekend, Friends!

This is one of those extremely rare weekends with NO NEW Movie Premieres. I know some of us will miss them, while others may enjoy this brief break. Hallmark will return with a new rom-com next week as the network begins *Countdown to Summer*.

The first Saturday in May is well-known for the iconic Kentucky Derby. This year is a monumental celebration, as it is the 150th run for the roses. Horse racing, I must say, isn't something I generally follow throughout the rest of the year, but the Derby and the state of Kentucky hold a special place in my heart due to family ties there, and hearing the song "My Old Kentucky Home" always brings a tear to my eye. (I sure miss hearing them sing the lyrics, though.)

Speaking of horses, even though there aren't any new movies this weekend, there are new episodes of When Calls the Heart, Blue Ridge, and the season finale of Into the Wild Frontier, and horses will likely be seen in all three.

See all of the details below...

When Calls the Heart images via Hallmark Media

With Anna returning to the show this week after being away at teacher's college, it's a special time for all of the young ladies in Hope Valley. The pictures above nostalgically depict the women of Hope Valley, along with the young women, "the next generation"! It's amazing to see how much these young girls have grown up before our eyes through their years on When Calls the Heart—in the past 11 seasons!

Of all the relationships on When Calls the Heart, the friendships of these ladies are truly among the most beautiful!

SHINING HIS LIGHT:

"Keep your heart with all vigilance, 

for from it flow the springs of life."

~Proverbs 4:23

Real-Life Couple Starring in Hallmark Christmas Movie + Merry Movie Week!

Some fun Christmas movie news is being reported by CTV News Atlantic.

The news outlet is reporting... A new holiday film titled "Christmas Land stars and is produced by Halifax-based actors, as well as real-life married couple, Meghan Ory (Chesapeake Shores) and John Reardon (The Christmas Secret, Hudson and Rex)."

Meghan Ory told CTV that their film "is about a town that is devoted to Christmas, and we're shooting in Mahone Bay (Nova Scotia), where the town is devoted to Christmas."

According to the Mahone Bay Tourism website, during their Father Christmas event - "The town is dressed in holiday style, abundant with twinkling lights, fragrant greenery, and Christmas characters."

Regarding the title... I wonder if they have any idea that Hallmark already has another Christmas movie with that same title. If this movie is indeed for Hallmark, I'm sure they will have to change the title somewhat.

You can see an interview with Meghan Ory and John Reardon on the CTV Atlantic Website! After you visit there - be sure to stop back here and share your thoughts on this Christmas movie, which CTV is reporting is coming to the Hallmark Channel this upcoming Christmas.

In more Christmas movie news... *Merry Movie Week* is coming in June to Hallmark Mystery!!!!!

Some of the schedule has been coming in, but please know Hallmark may make some changes along the way, so please stay tuned!

Well, it appears the June Weddings theme didn't make the cut this year—again! It's one of those themes that has been off & on through the years. I'm wondering if last years June Weddings movie block didn't quite pull in the ratings they wanted, so they are trying this instead. Or maybe it was difficult to find 4 good wedding themed films. Who knows? I think the destination movies are a good idea for summertime, though, as they get everyone in the mood for vacation time.

As I mentioned above, I find it interesting that these well-known Hallmark stars are paired with others who are less known on Hallmark. It seems this is a purposeful effort to introduce more actors to the network.

I would love to hear your take on these movies! Please share your thoughts in the comments below.

Happy movie watching,

Happy National Day of Prayer!

Happy National Day of Prayer!

I love how our nation comes together on this day to pray! We certainly have numerous issues as a country, including our freedoms, security, the economy, and more. On this day, we lift up those concerns to our Heavenly Father.

The 2024 Theme for The National Day of Prayer...

LIFT UP THE WORD - LIGHT UP THE WORLD

"For you are my lamp, O Lord, and my God lightens my darkness. For by You I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall. This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; He is a shield for all those who take refuge in Him."

~2 Samuel 22:29-31

Recently, I was re-watching the promo video for Candace Cameron Bure’s new Great American Family Christmas movie, A Christmas Less Traveled, and near the end of the commercial, Candace says, “...the themes in the story have a lot to do with forgiveness and faith and allowing faith to be bigger than fear.” That profound statement of *faith over fear* keeps repeating in my mind as I often need that encouragement throughout my day, and it brought to mind that while I was looking at Christian tees the other day on Amazon, I happened to see a t-shirt with that same message. So, I thought I would share that *faith over fear* t-shirt and others with you all below.

I personally love to wear an inspirational graphic tee or sweatshirt (depending on the weather, of course) to remind myself and others around me that God is bigger and greater than any problems we may face. When fear comes, I try my best to replace that fear with my faith. No matter what we face today, tomorrow, and in the future, God is with us.

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

~Corinthians 5:7

(Click on the items below for more details at Amazon. I've included options for women, men, and children. Note: If you buy something through these affiliate links, I may earn a commission at no cost to you. Thank you all for your support.)

So faith comes from hearing, 

and hearing through the word of Christ.

~Romans 10:17

God’s blessings to you all on this National Day of Prayer!

My prayer is for peace… peace here at home and in Israel, for all of America’s allies, and for God’s people all around the world!

As I end this post, I thought I would share one of Matthew West’s newest songs as a reminder to “Don't Stop Praying.” I pray this song touches many of you, as it has deeply touched my heart.

God bless you all!

'Tipline Mysteries Dial 1 for Murder' To Premiere in June - #Sleuthers See Here:

Good news, Sleuthers!

The all-new mystery Tipline Mysteries Dial 1 for Murder will be premiering on Hallmark Mystery in June after the film initially premieres in May on their streaming service, Hallmark Movies Now.

See details in Hallmark Media's Press Release:

A CALL TO A NEWSPAPER TIP LINE

DRAWS AN AMATEUR SLEUTH INTO

A DANGEROUS HOMICIDE CASE

HOLLAND RODEN AND CHRIS MCNALLY

STAR IN

TIPLINE MYSTERIES: DIAL 1 FOR MURDER

A NEW, ORIGINAL PREMIERING JUNE 7,

ON HALLMARK MYSTERY

Hallmark Movies Now Subscribers Get Early Access Starting May 16

A tipline operator finds danger on the line, when Holland Roden (Teen Wolf) and Chris McNally (When Calls the Heart, Firefly Lane) star in Tipline Mysteries: Dial 1 for Murder, a new, original movie premiering Friday, June 7 (9 p.m. ET/PT), on Hallmark Mystery. Hallmark Movies Now Subscribers get early access starting May 16.

Maddie Moore (Roden) is a concierge at a hotel in Detroit, Michigan, who moonlights at Detroit Free Press in their tipline department. Most nights, calls run anywhere from alien sightings to lost cats. One night, however, Maddie receives a cryptic call warning of a jewelry heist. When Maddie brings this to the police, she finds that her usual, complacent contact has retired and has been replaced by the newly promoted Detective Beeks (McNally). Unfortunately, despite his stellar reputation as an officer, Detective Beeks doesn’t take Maddie’s anonymous tips any more seriously than his predecessor. Maddie, who has always taken exhaustive notes, isn’t ready to let it go. Using an app that allows her to listen into the city’s police scanner, she overhears a dispatch call about a jewelry heist involving a possible homicide. Immediately connecting it to the anonymous tip, Maddie rushes to the scene of the crime, only for Detective Beeks to turn her away. Undeterred, Maddie decides to investigate on her own, sometimes using her day job as a cover, and she continues to cross paths with Detective Beeks. When Maddie’s insights prove to be useful, Detective Beeks reluctantly joins forces with her. However, when the investigation takes a dangerous turn, Maddie begins to worry that her number just might be up.

Tipline Mysteries: Dial 1 for Murder is from Timeless Pictures in association with USA Today & Gannett Co. and MarVista Entertainment. Aidan Heatley, Ben C. Silverman, Michael R. Goldstein, Alexandre Coscas, Todd Hoffman, David Hamlin and Fernando Szew are executive producers. Ronny Kurland is co-executive producer. Produced by Matthew Santoro. Jessica Harmon and Cynde Harmon directed from a script by Christine Conradt.

********************

I hope you all have wonderful plans for this last weekend in April. If so, you'll probably want to set your DVR for some (if not all) of the programs above.

It's the last *Spring into Love* movie this weekend for the Hallmark Channel. Next up in May - the network will have their *Countdown to Summer* original movies. Stay tuned for that!

If you want an even more Spring feel, then you'll want to tune in for an Easter celebration this Sunday night on When Calls the Heart! The press images released by Hallmark show the children coloring eggs, which is so sweet to see, but I'm also hoping Pastor Joseph imparts some spiritual teachings around the true meaning of Easter/Resurrection Sunday.

In addition to When Calls the Heart on Sunday night, it's also the fourth episode of Blue Ridge: The Series. For those of you who recently asked about closed captioning, if you watch through the Cowboy Way Channel, it does not function; however, subtitles will work for Blue Ridge: The Series through Plex or XumoPlay. And both streaming options are free! I hope this helps many of you enjoy the show even more.

The new premiere from the Curious Caterer mystery wheel, starring Nikki DeLoach and Andrew Walker, certainly looks intriguing. I especially like their period costumes in this, and at least Hallmark has kept this series going - so far. Hopefully, "Foiled Plans" is just as delicious as the previous Curious Caterer mysteries.

Please note: I have not pre-screened the new movies/episodes mentioned above. If you'd like to leave a review, please share in comments below.

I hope you all have a bright and beautiful Spring weekend!

Blessings!
