A little levity ... ping!

Watching The Passion of Christ is now a Holy Week tradition in my home. It is by far the best and most moving movie about Christ.

Wish I had time to tell you the talk Jim gave to a church here in Tucson. I have an autographed CD of the reading of the bible too.

He started out his talk this way:

I was in a theater watching a movie with my basketball in my lap when I heard God call to me...

Later he was interviewing with Mel Gibson for a part in a random movie and Jim said out of the blue, “You want me to play Jesus, don’t you?”

Great man. I love the way he and his wife are sharing their values with their kids and his community. Big, big anti-abortion advocate too. God Bless Jim Caviezel!

And Happy Eastertide everyone!

I saw the Pope during that visit in Vancouver. One of the most memorable experiences of my life. After Mass, and after all day sitting in a field waiting for him to arrive, my friend and I tried to take a short cut back to our bus, moved a barricade, and ducked behind the temporary altar.

We ran smack into the Pope. We were so stunned that we just mumbled something like “Thank you, Father” as his bodyguards hustled him away. He blessed us and waved us on. I mostly remember his beautiful, blue eyes. Just riveting.

LOL!

Very Funny...

...having earned the right to play the role of Jesus of Nazareth...

Let me guess, he learned to walk on water? This "right" sure is peculiar.

"...and he [Caviezel] said, 'I think Jesus was Italian.' In response to the pope’s surprise, the actor continued: 'He didn’t leave home until he was 30. He always hung out with the same 12 guys, and his mother believed he was God, so he had to be — you know, he had to be Italian.'"

"With a straight face, John Paul II answered, 'That was witty. He was Polish.'"

Actually, He was Irish.

(Remember how He turned water into Irish Whiskey?)
