What is most shocking about the Passion?
I still haven’t seen the film. But I can already tell you what the most shocking thing is. Is it the violence, in which Christ is beaten to a bloody pulp? No, it’s the reaction to the violence. The media and others in the world that are condemning the film for it’s graphic content, saying that it should not have been THAT graphic. That is what shocks me. Why does it shock me?
Do these people think that Christ’s sacrifice was a cakewalk? The Messiah didn’t get a lethal injection, and quietly go to sleep for our sins. He had to SUFFER. For hours on end, he had to suffer. More pain than any other man could endure, and he had to suffer it.
And with that, I am shocked that anyone can sit in their comfortable Hollywood chair and bash this film for it’s depiction of suffering.

Death and Beowulf
The flower of thy might
lasts now a while: but erelong it shall be
that sickness or sword thy strength shall minish,
or fang of fire, or flooding billow,
or bite of blade, or brandished spear,
or odious age; or the eyes’ clear beam
wax dull and darken: Death even thee
in haste shall o’erwhelm, thou hero of war! — King Hrothgar in Beowulf
I was reading these lines today for my English class, and the thought struck me. I’d heard the saying my entire life…”Two things are for sure, death and taxes.” Death is something I see several times a year, as my dad preaches funerals, and as relatives pass on. And I’m not stupid, I’ve always known I would die someday. But that realization…that it doesn’t matter how strong you are, or how healthy, or anything…you will die. For “man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgement.” However many years from now, everything that I put so much stock in now, will all be ashes. It will all be smoke. Smoke and “spitting into the wind.”
I think until you take a long hard look at death…you can’t fully live.
It’s been so long…
Wow, It’s been much too long since I’ve posted…a whole weekend!
In this weekend, I’ve seen Casting Crowns and Silers Bald in concert, done a whole heapin helpin of homework, and played a little Dance Dance Revolution.
DDR…is quite a workout for a fat man like myself.
Goodbye, Goodnight
Strike up the band and play a song as we go waltzing by
And fake a smile as we all say goodbye
I know, I know
I changed the name again. I know. I PROMISE this is the last time. For the week anyway.
