I should be getting ready for church, but I'm online instead. Skewed priorities? Maybe...
Guess who came up with that wonderful name. Heh.
We went to dinner at Olive Garden, drove around for a while and then went to see The Passion of the Christ (I had to write that all out, the movie deserves a whole title).
The movie itself was very good. Parts of it were very moving, but there were times when I couldn't get past the fact that it was just a movie.
Granted, I know that it's a true story. I just find the bible easier to learn from than a movie. Hollywood is still Hollywood.
I thought I would have been bawling in the theatre. I thought that I would have come out a changed person, eager to do the will of a Wonderful God. Instead, I sat there, shocked at what was taking place-not crying. I walked out with many mixed emotions as well, and sat with Rick until late at night, talking about it.
I had a hard time dealing with the message-"The wages of sin is death." I don't think that I deserve to die. I don't think anyone deserves it, and it upset me to hear that. So we changed the message around a bit-"The wages of sin are separation from God. Eternally."
After that, I didn't feel like all hope had been lost. Choices are what it's about.
