The Hobbit Hole VI - And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...
Posted on 01/31/2004 9:52:08 AM PST by ecurbh
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
And Whither Then? I Cannot Say...
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

Yes, I am employed by a college. It isn't on that list. But I can maybe mention it to some of my siblings' friends who are going to bigger colleges.
I do like the idea...especially for freshmen at larger universities who are coming to college knowing nothing about the various instructors.

Hello to everyone in the Hobbit Hole. I hope your day has been wonderful.
I, like 2Jedismom, went to see and experience The Passion last night.
As I lay in bed last night 5 hours after the movie, I was still weeping and praying. Now, it has been almost 24 hours and I have found myself taking a deep breath and holding back the tears all day. This morning when I arrived at work and coworkers asked, “So how was the movie?” I was unable to talk about it without crying. It is hard for me to put in to words all the emotions that I feel but I think the strongest is the most sincere love I have ever felt and gratefulness.
As 2J expressed it was not all graphically horrifying, though when it was it was extremely intense. There were moments when the flashbacks gave you comfort in the fact that Jesus was just like us with a mother and a sense of humor.
At some points in the movie, I know that I have never sobbed and wept like that before in my life. My mother was sitting beside me consoling me, asking if I was okay, as if I was the one losing a son. I felt the deepest sense of compassion and pain, as if I was right there beside Mary. As a mother, I felt broken and empty…for her.
Again, like 2J, this movie does not make me the least bit hateful, discriminatory or prejudice against anyone. This movie has truly changed my life. My walk will never be the same.
I highly recommend this movie.

I'm really appreciating these reviews. And very much looking forward to seeing it on Sunday. I KNOW it's going to be tough to watch...but I think I need to see it.

I am going to see Passion tonight...Kind of anxious about it, but curious. I can't describe what I am feeling right now. I have no idea what I will do during the film...

One of the coolest parts, right at the beginning, just thrilled me, though...I won't post it here, because it's a spoiler (as if that can really be, but it startled and thrilled me and I want it to do the same for the others that haven't seen it.)
You'll know the part I'm talking about if you click HERE. Don't click if you don't want a spoiler, guys!
Verses 14 and 15.
I'm like you, PQ...very emotional all day. The homeschool mom beside me that gave me the tissue clasped my hand after a while and we comforted each other. My mom held on to a black woman beside her, a complete stranger, that was really weeping...she was there by herself and kept thanking Jesus during the worst part.

Woohooo!!
Matthew made a 100% on his major lifepack math test! That's a tenth of his grade, and he gets to put it up on the fridge!!!
Makes me feel great, because he has to do this ALL ALONE...you know? No help from me. The proof is in the pudding when he has a lifepack test...whether or not he's learned what he's required to learn!
So I am just as tickled as he is to get that test up on the fridge...very encouraging to me!

I just got back from the movie. It was perfect.
I came out with the most incredible peace that I've ever had. There is nothing more that I can really say about it.
I think God will meet the needs of everyone who goes in there with any need and a heart open to Him. And I pray for those who go in that they receive what He has for them. Yeah, I cried a lot.. but they were all *good* tears.

I almost called you last night during the drive home after dropping off my mom...but it was almost 10:30pm.
I'm logging off for while, gotta fix supper, spend some time with the boys.
Steve is working late tonight on school, so I'll be back for the late night crowd, maybe...

You mean you didn't recognize your Sam? Hard that is--cruel hard.Even worse than the way they drew Sam, they made him sound like a retarded Buddy Hackett.

Hullo, Ramius! We just got back from watching Tim argue a case down at the courthouse. Getting ready to watch some South Park tonight.

Well, it was kinda. It was a hearing about getting some documents released pertaining to Boeing and the state of Washington, and whether those documents contained trade secrets and could be kept secret or not. End result... the judge believes they are in fact exempted from the FOI, but will look at them to make sure before making a decision. But it was pretty much a victory for Tim already in that they released about 90% of the stuff Tim's client wanted in anticipation of going to court.
