Recycled Thoughts-Part 1

...from my old xanga site.

THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST
Who would wanna miss a controversial flick eh? And whoever said Jesus Christ wasn’t famous?! At first, scenes were most of the time in slow mo’ and dim lights were used. And how come they never told us the whole movie was in jew/greek/whatever?! Of course, some of it was in italian (parts of the romans). Anyhow, I still say the movie ROCKED!! =)

No matter what criticism/fault-finding people do, the message that Mel Gibson tried to convey is undeniably THE DEAL man! ;p Honestly, I never pictured Jesus’ “stripes” looked as terrible as it was visualized in the movie. It was gory horrible!! I was “squinching” (?) in most of the beating parts. I was like, “oh how he loves u and me…he gave his life, what more could he give?” (Actually, I think the lyrics should go…”he gave his life, what more COULDN’T he give??”) The director did a pretty good job in emphasizing that “by His stripes, we have been healed”! Haha. Now I could probably tell that to a sick or hurting person with so much conviction.

Was Jesus thinking of me when he was being beaten by the Roman soldiers? I think so. =)

ABOVE ALL (Lenny LeBlanc)
Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of men
You were here before the world began

Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There’s no way to measure what you’re worth

Crucified and laid behind the stone
You lived to die, rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fault and thought of me, above all
