Average Joe Is About Standing Up For Your Freedoms

When did freedom of religion become un-American?  Be inspired by the true story of Coach Joe Kennedy and his fight for freedom in the new movie, Average Joe, in theaters October 11!

Many thanks to Average Joe for providing a sample of the product for this review.  Opinions are 100% my own.

 Freedom of religion is protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution. No matter what religion you follow, you have the right to practice it. We ALL have the right to live out our faith and beliefs without fear of getting killed or fired. 

 For many people, this is not the case right now and one guy decided to fight for his freedom. Coach Joe Kennedy was fired from his job for choosing to pray before his football games. When he was fired, Joe and his wife Denise knew this was a battle for religious freedom, freedom of speech, and the rights of all Americans. 

Inspire your family and friends to stand up for what they believe in by seeing how God changed one man’s life in the inspiring and unwavering true story of AVERAGE JOE

About Average Joe

 High school football coach Joe Kennedy had no other choice but to fight. A childhood in foster care followed by 20 years in the Marine Corps was nothing compared to his biggest battle: his commitment to stand for God publicly by taking a knee in prayer after each game. When he was fired, Joe and his wife Denise knew this battle for religious freedom, freedom of speech, and the rights of all Americans was one they would have to fight—no matter the cost. 

~ From the director and producers of God’s Not Dead and the producers of The Blind comes AVERAGE JOE, in theaters beginning October 11.

Average Joe is based on a true story ~ Watch the trailer

A powerful movie that gave me inspiration to stand up for my beliefs

AVERAGE JOE reminds us of the power and impact ONE person can have by standing up for what they believe. Imagine dozens, hundreds, thousands, and millions standing together for our Constitutional rights!

My Thoughts From The Movie

Joe was a troubled kid and always in trouble. As a young child, his adoptive parents could not handle his anger issues and gave him up. After being tossed from one foster family to another, one foster parent did not give up on him. He told Joe that he was stronger than his past and encouraged him to join the Marines. 

 It was fighting in a war, that taught Joe about fighting for his freedom and about the power of prayer. Many years later, he unwillingly accepted a job as a football coach. God showed him that these football players came from troubled lives and needed his guidance. Joe had a great influence on these kids.

Joe would pray before the football game for his team and the kids on the team chose to pray with him. Someone from the school told Joe that he could not pray on the football field. Joe decided to stand up for his right to pray.

This decision was not an easy one for Joe and his wife. Joe ended up being fired from his job as a football coach. A lawyer helped Joe fight for the Constitutional rights of every American, to be able to pray. It was a long fight with many hardships but in the end, Joe won. 

It’s Time to Make YOUR Stand!

It’s a question we’ve all asked ourselves: would we be willing to risk it all for what truly matters? Coach Joe Kennedy and his wife Denise stood up for what they believe by taking on a system denying every American of their First Amendment rights. Sounds like the making of a great movie, right?\

The Best Planner For Parents Who Work At Home

 A parent's job is 24/7 and it seems that we are always busy, especially parents of school-aged kids. Throw in a work-at-home job and life can get quite chaotic at times. Having a planner can help you stay organized in life.


 If you have children who attend school, you know about busy. From making sure they get to school to driving them to all their activities, you have a busy schedule. Then add in doctor appointments along with a job, it can be hard to remember the who, what, and when. Keeping track of everything can be tough and a planner can be just the thing that you need.

 I am not talking about some planner app or calendar on your phone, I am talking about a paper planner that you can write in. While some people can manage all the kid activities and other items on their phone, for me it can get too complicated. Especially when you need to remember which app has which information. It can be stressful and time-consuming to just type all the information on the different apps. Oh, you also have to remember to share everything with your partner and hope that they read it. 

Why a customized planner makes sense for busy parents

 Any parent can tell you that parenting is no joke. It is wildly fulfilling and also just simply wild at times. Trying to balance your work and home life while also managing your children's lives and many activities can be exhausting. Having a Plum Paper planner that is tailored to your needs is a great way to stay organized when things get hectic. Our customizable planners are a great resource for those with children, as they can be customized to fit your family’s schedule. A planner is a plus for parents who work from home.

  As a blogger who has teen children, life can be busy. So busy that it can be easy to forget things. So I use a planner to help me manage my work schedule and my kid's schedule. I use a paper planner so I can write everything down. A paper planner has a calendar to keep track of my daily activities and all the kid's events, along with my many allergy shot appointments. My planner also has many other features that I was able to add with a custom planner from Plum Paper.

  I know what you are thinking ~ I can do all that on my phone. A planner is different in so many ways. A planner can actually be less stressful and it can take less time to use when compared to a phone. Jotting something down in a planner can be quicker than finding the app on your phone and typing in the info.


Why I like using a planner 

 I like using a planner for so many reasons. I like that I can write things down in different places in my planner. I also like that I can choose the different planner pages that are for my family life. Ordering a custom Plum Paper paper to match my needs was the first step in managing my busy life. 


A planner that brings me joy

 My phone is the source of my busy job and it does not always bring me joy when I look at it. The cover of my planner brings me joy as I selected a design that made me happy. I also selected all the pages inside my custom planner to fit my needs as a parent who works on the computer. 


The Planner Pages That I selected 

~ A calendar with big squares to write down work assignments and appointments

~ To-Do List Pages for all my ideas for my articles

~ Lined Note Pages to keep track of products that I receive

~ Password Pages to keep track of all the websites that I visit

~ Lined Note Pages to keep track of invoices and payments

~ Sticker Pages that I can write on

I love my planner from Plum Planner

 I have used many planners over the years and most of them were standard planners, even some made for bloggers. My frustration with regular planners is all the additional pages that I never use and that can add bulk to a planner. That can also make a planner weigh more.

 So I love that I made my planner to fit my planning needs. I selected the pages that I knew I would use and I chose the amount of pages that I needed. I was also able to select the size of my planner from three different sizes. I chose the smallest one so it would be easy to toss into my bag when I traveled.
