Best movies list for Christian viewers

Over the years my wife and I have watched secular movies for entertainment, all while keeping a biblical worldview. We have come across many movies that are not Christian, but don't excessively offend us and sometimes do offer edification when filtered through the Bible. I'm grateful for common grace. The  list  of ratings excludes anything with nudity (brief or otherwise) and excessive blasphemous uses of God's or Jesus's "literal" name. Those two things remove our interest in watching a movie. No entertainment is worth compromising your walk with Christ , so avoid movies that do. Our conscience is clear about watching certain movies, if yours is not, then avoid the movie.

Parallels VM Hangs During Resume After Transferring to New Location

With  Parallels 15 on macOS Big Sur, I was having an issue resuming the VMs that I transferred to my new external hard drive. I found out that you are suppose to shut down the VM before you move them. Oops. To resolve the issue, thankfully, was simple. After praying about it, I realized that the  pvm  file was a package. I then opened the package in Finder. I analyzed the files names and removed the ones that seemed like it stored "resume" state information. I then double-checked my hypothesis by comparing the directory contents to another VM that was shut down properly. I restarted Parallels and was then able to start the VMs that were causing a kernel panic and hanging during resume. Steps: Context click the VM file in question (right-click) Click "Show Package Contents" Remove three files *.mem like: {8164553e-0c7f-429e-89a3-2cb00a161604}.mem config.sav suspended.png Close the Finder window Restart the Parallels Control Center Launch the target VM Give thanks to
