time for an attitude change.
so i saw the passion of the christ tonight. it easily makes this Easter much more meaningful to me.
i wasn't sure what to expect, but it was such an experience. it's hard to call it a good movie, even though it was excellent, because it was just so hard to watch. for anyone who has accepted Christ, they consider Jesus their Father. and everyone on Earth, regardless of their attitudes towards faith and religion, has a father. imagine watching your Earth father get completely beaten up with whips, sticks, and spikes, almost to the point of death with his blood pouring out of his body onto the ground and cuts and gashes and bruises everywhere, and then seeing nails being beaten into his hands and feet and hanging him on a cross to die right in front of your very eyes. it's so gruesome, but the passion of the christ made what happened to my Father become so much more of a reality to me.
"thank you for the cross Lord, thank you for the nail pierced hands".
