Today's forecast was for rain and chilly temperatures. There was nothing on our calendar, so Hubby Tony suggested we walk inside at a mall and then take in a movie we've both been wanting to see called Soul on Fire, based on a 2016 memoir by motivational speaker John O'Leary.

When John was nine years old he accidentally set himself on fire while playing with matches, which left him with burns on 100% of his body and a 1% chance of survival. The first part of the movie tells the story of his recovery and later life with the support of his family, community, and Jack Buck-the radio announcer for the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team.

The movie was filmed in St. Louis, and it was fun to pick out locations that we knew. I follow John O'Leary on Facebook, where he's been sharing some of the hidden Easter eggs to look for. The reviews have generally been positive, and for me it was a three-tissue movie (with as many happy tears as sad).
