Good morning!

Ya...when we driving to the airport after Entmoot, g'nad stopped at Patrick AFB. We went to the shoppette...boy...all AAFES places look pretty much the same. It definitely brought back memories!

*snif*

Good morning everyone

Saw The Passion last night.

First, the theater was absolutely packed and there were television crews there, but no protesters that I saw...we got there an hour early. My pastor was there and gave me a huge bear hug, which rather startled me, I'm not a bear hug type, generally.

It was extremely worth going to see. I highly recommend it.

What did I like about it? Well, Mr. Gibson seemed to have a way of relieving you from the horror of it using flashbacks to wonderful times in our Lord's ministry on earth...when you thought you just couldn't stand it any longer, Jesus would remember something and you could, during the respite of His memory, laugh even.

Still, it was graphically horrifying...just exactly how I have always understood Crucifixions to be. Many times I had to remind myself to breathe, and found I was clasping my handbag shaking violently.

Being able to relate, I was just crushed by how Mary was portrayed. At one point, I burst into tears, but couldn't let go of my grip of my handbag, so a friend in my homeschool group took my hand and gave me a tissue.

Did this movie make me HATE anyone? On the contrary! My Savior died a horrific death, but before He did, he commanded us to love one another! He even asked His Father to forgive the handful of people that did this to him, because they didn't know what they were doing! I'm not called to revenge. I'm called to love.

And if He can do what He did for me, the least I can do is what He asks.

Oh, and one more thing that I just found fascinating!

You know the movie has subtitles? Well, sometime during the movie, I simply forgot there were subtitles! It was like they blended in so well that you forgot your reading and could understand what they were saying!

Very hard to describe, but several of us mentioned it!
