And I've seen Mel Gibson's interviews on TV. He is showing a lot of poise and certainty under pressure.

I haven't seen it yet, but I can't wait.

Thank you, dansangel.

A house is just a box in which to stay warm and dry; a car is a way to get us from one place to another.

I agree. I've never been into "things" much. Some of my favorite "things" I found in the "Trash" corner of a place called "Trash and Treasures." I have a metal dish that says, "LOVE ME*LOVE MY DOG" that is one of my favorite things but now I don't have a dog.

I have always felt that a roof over my head, "shirt on my back" and enough food to prevent hunger--everything else is "icing."

My friends hate me at Christmas. LOL!

Oh boy do I agree with you....

It is definitely worth the wait ((((((((lonestar))))))))

[dansangel]

Thank you - right from the source.

Thank you.

[Cold Heat]

It is definitely worth the wait

My wife and I have tickets for this evening.

She, and I are very excited.

She is very devoted to our church, Yet I have not attended in some 30 years. But I have plenty of training.

I just choose not to go. I am expecting sort of a recharge from this movie as Jesus has always been a person that I respect above all.

I think Newt was correct when he stated last nite that the ramifications of this movie will be tremendous for those of faith and educational for those without.

Thankyou for your comments. I saw a pre-screening a month ago. Been standing on one foot then the other waiting for it to come out so I can discuss it with others. :^)

It does make us feel small. And ashamed. And grateful. And humbled. And grieving. And lacking. And horrified. And sickened. And hopeful.

And loved. And saved....

I think you will get even more of a recharge than you have expected. I'm excited for you, too ((((((wirestripper)))))). So great to see you once again.

My aunt was married to a very intelligent man who was agnostic. He had read the Bible several times and said, "It is the best book ever written." One of his best friends was a missionary.

Uncle was killed in a car accident in Germany. My aunt asked his missionary friend if he thought uncle "went to Heaven" because they had had many conversations on the Bible and religious beliefs. The missionary's response was always, "Jay was a very good man."

Wow sistah dansy. (and .45man) What a beautiful outstanding touching humbling thread. Mr. D. and I have been somewhat apprehensive about going to see this as we both don't do well witnessing violence. But from your comments as well as the many others I have read...it seems like something we must do. Thank you for bringing this to us today.

(((((prairie)))))

Makes you wish you could think up *all* of the adjectives, doesn't it? *Humbled* is one of my favorites....so true.

Thank you for sharing that with us.

[Billie]

BRAVO! Dansy, this is absolutely, without a doubt, your most beautiful and moving post ever. It is exquisite. Your presentation is flawless.

[dansangel]

The violence is important in getting out the message of what Christ actually endured for us. It is horrific, it is sickening and it boggles the mind, but it needs to be witnessed for all who believe to *truly* understand.

(((((((dutchess)))))))

[dansangel]

Thank you sistah (((((Billie)))))) I can't take credit for it. Were it not for Mel Gibson and Jesus Christ himself, this post wouldn't exist.

Flawless? Hardly.....I've already bared my soul to Skinny dood. :-)

Mornin', dansy. I'm definitely going to see the movie. Now if I can just remember what a theater looks like....it's been awhile.

expecially = especially

OK, I admit it up front (((((skinny dood))))) - flame away.....

Me, flame away? Of course not! I've accepted the fact that some people just make more mistakes than others and there's not much that can be done about it. :-)

[prairiebreeze]

I believe that it was pointed out well on another thread that the violence in this movie is nothing at all like the violence of pop-culture movies, which we have become fairly desensitized to.

This movie has a POINT to the violence. And it has a message so much larger than just that aspect.

Therein lies all the difference.
