still March Break...

Back from NB... was a really good trip, had an awsome talk(s) with my father. My grandfather is now walking with a cane, and told me he loved me for the second time ever in my life. Felt pretty special.

The Passion

Went to see the Passion Wednesday night, was intense. I didn't cry through the whole thing... Was told I would... Not sure how I feel about that. It is definatly worth seeing if you have not already. I guess with all of the controvercy arround it, I expected something different. I'm not sure what. Could tell it was a Gibson movie with the crowd scenes, He did a great job. Really cant say much else until it is fully processed.

Humble confidence...

One thing I do know... I was struck with the reminder that Christianity or following Christ most of the time means doing things ass backwards from what the world does... Sounds simple, but isnt. I get looked at so strangly when I tell people a huge life choice(s) I have stuck with at school...(ie, sex before marriage, getting drunk every weekend, drugs, etc.) They look at me like I'm nuts, but at the same time vocalize that they wish they could make the same choice(s). It's like they dont think they have a choice, try to explane that they are trapped in this world as a prisen and think they have no way out would be like...not really worth it... The whole thing about how it was Jesus's choice to die, and even though it looked like he was screwed, he knew what was going on all the time. Makes me desire to walk in the confidence once again knowing who God is, who he is to me, and fearing nothing. Gave me confidence, because I am daily reminded of the choices I make, and why I make them. Some things just dont matter. I love that as Christians we can look like we are getting the shitty end of things, and still walk in the knowledge that God will do all things in time for our good. Almost forgot that. More of the movie later... if I process.
