Pipin's sister is going in for surgery Tuesday. She's ask me to ask you all to keep her sister in your prayers this week.

You got it! I also pray that this is not terribly serious! Please let us know an update after surgery if you have one.

Well, we're back. The Passion has left me speechless. Much has already been said that I can add a hearty amen to. This film has added a marvelous dimension to my relationship with my Savior. Thank you Mr. Gibson.

Big'ol and I debriefed on the way back home and we agreed that the portrayal of the Sanhedrin is not an indictment of the Jews, but rather one against intellegencia and elitists of all the ages, the "secular humanists", and people who are so vain as to make their own rules and call them eternal Truth and then condemn those who don't follow them. Hellenism is alive and well and writing film reviews today.

Watching the Oscars now will be interesting. PJ and Gibson have raised the bar on the Hollywood Establishment so high and so fast it may take years before they even know it's happened. I'll watch with amusement as they congratulate each other for another year of mediocrity and look down their noses at the likes of hobbits and elves even while grudgingly giving them statuettes. Even if they don't give Mel his due next year, the rules for filmmaking in America have changed.

I feel blessed to be a part of this moment in time.
