        <p>Well, we&#8217;re not really certain that we can attribute it to the film.&nbsp; But after months of shuttling between edit rooms in Los Angeles and Nashville to edit <em>Still Standing:&nbsp; The Stonewall Jackson Story</em>, and not too long after having masterfully cut together sequences that include scenes detailing Jackson&#8217;s fierce love for his family, Joel took for the East coast to take his own bride.
</p>
<p>
Below, Joel stands proudly next to Martha, his &#8216;esposita&#8217; (Jackson&#8217;s moniker for his beloved Anna), surrounded by the children of the film&#8217;s director.&nbsp; Next to Joel is his brother Graham, who has contributed his vast creative talents to <em>A Journey Home</em> and several other Franklin Springs projects.&nbsp; These two home educated brothers are shining examples of young men flourishing in their giftings, having been afforded the freedom to develop career expertise at an early age.
</p>
<p>
<img src="http://www.franklinsprings.com/images/news/fisherwedding1.jpg" />
</p>
<p>
The older children of the film&#8217;s director were eager to brave the New York chill of an April evening to savor Niagara Falls after the wedding reception&#8230;
</p>
<p>

</p>
<p>
The younger children of the film&#8217;s director were eager to brave the chill of Lake Ontario on their way home through Canada the following day&#8230;
</p>
<p>
<img src="http://www.franklinsprings.com/images/news/fisherwedding3.jpg" />
</p>
<p>
The director of the film (and his wife) arrived home thankful for their family&#8217;s friendship with Joel and his family and his new bride.&nbsp; May the Lord richly bless their new home!

        <p>Once upon a time (last weekend), a church family of Tennesseans travelled to Birmingham, Alabama to witness a glorious, elegant, richly inspiring courtship wedding.&nbsp; After basking in the marriage ceremony along with 650 other celebrants, the Tennesseans convened for a gathering, at which time their Mr. Pine gathered children from several of the church&#8217;s families for a time of, well, &#8220;once upon a time"&#8230;
</p>
<p>

The Tennesseans were represented by one of their own as a bridesmaid in the wedding.&nbsp; Below, she&#8217;s surrounded by her dear friends from her home church.

</p>
<p>
Several Franklin Springs personnel were privileged to participate in the weekend, which furthered our resolve to tell stories that inspire and develop God-honoring family life.&nbsp;  We know we&#8217;ll look back at last weekend with a &#8220;once upon a time&#8221; fondness.&nbsp; We look forward to sharing other such stories (via DVD) with you soon&#8230;

        <p>Here&#8217;s a first-look trailer for our upcoming DVD <em>Measure Twice, Cut Once: Essential Building Basics for Kids of All Ages</em>. Spring weather is just around the corner, and it is our hope that fathers and sons will head outside and begin their own tree-fort building adventures, and in the process learn essential carpentry skills. This new DVD is available now for pre-order now.
