How they lived there lives

" there is no situation where anybody can ever insult god,' she would say. because we were constantly mocked at school, this verse was a great encouragement to us. our family was surrounded by KGB agents, and it was almost impossible to even breathe without their knowing it yet my mother never ceased to amaze me. no matter how much persecution she and dad encountered , she remained so loving and so hopeful."
I think this section shows the true feeling of how the family felt as they were contently watched by the KGB. it also shows how strong the whole family was to god as they went though these hard times in there life's.

reflection


Though the heavens fall was not an exciting book. Yes there were a couple of parts in the book that wanted to make me keep reading, Most of the time I was just trying to get the book over with. This book was extremely boring all it consisted of was the family members going to prison doing what they were supposed to and then either dying or getting out. There was only one attempt to escape and it wasn’t even made by him it was a friend. After that it went back to the same old do what you were supposed to do.  After he was let out it started to get a little better after he was allowed to get out of the village that he had stayed at after he was let out of the labor camp.

            Only getting arrested a couple of times and not getting sent back to a labor camp did not make the book as interesting as it would have been if he was sent back to a camp. In my opium this book was not as good as I thought it would be as when I first looked at the cover.

movie

stuck in Russia as a christian
the movie on Mikhail Kulakov would be a documentary film on his life. the movie will start when he is little kid. it will go from when his father was arrested to when he gets arrested. the years of his imprisonment. have his kids as the narrators telling story's of him and there own stories with some live action of him in the jail, labour camp and after he got out. the next part of the movie would be  when he got married and became the leader of the Adventist church in Russia.
 the movie stuck in Russia as a christian would cost 20 million dollars. there would be no main actor only little sections of live action. the movie length will be forty-five to an hour long. I will rate this move PG because little kids will not get the meaning of this film. I I'm going to put one of Mikhail's sons as the actor in the live acting parts. this movie will be great for showing how life was for Christians in the 50s or 60s in Russia.

spirituality in his life

Mikhail's spirituality was very strong when he spent the years in prison. he trusted in god that he would let him be free if he trusted in him. he would spend Sabbaths pray to god, he would try and not do work on gods day even though he was made to. this how he stud strong for god while in a unconformable place. after he was let out he still believed in god he would worship with many over people in the small villages that he lived in. he would have church services in his own house. he would keep religious books in his house knowing if they were found by the KGB he would be arrested again and put back into a labour camp. but even with theses things towering over him he still stayed faithful to god. it is important to have god in our lives today, we can't make it by our selves and have to have somebody to lean on for help. god is the only one that can help us though hardships. all we have t do is ask for help.

poem

being a christian


you may think that being a Christan is easy
but actually it is not.
in Russia you will face lots of persecution.
not by the people but by your own government.
they hate to see any thing that is not there religion.

his life in Russia was not easy.
he went to jail for his faith.
he even spent time in a labour camp to work off his debt.
but out of darkness there is always light.
at the end of his life he was aloud to have his own religious rights.
