Truly: I Watch More ‘Jesus’ Movies

Truly: I don't really “observe” Good Friday but every year at this time I start watching more Jesus movies and I'm moved and then I question everything and get all confused over and over again and then I just try to be. ... Weird I know but I do try and have an Easter supper - not sure why there either. I am so not committed to anything and yet I feel my heart strings being tugged really hard so who knows what I am doing.

Question: Actor Jim Caviezel was on Christian radio this morning, describing some of the challenging of playing Jesus in "Passion of the Christ." I've never seen that movie. I don't know if I ever will. Reading in the Gospels re: the horrific beating and execution of Jesus on my behalf is bad enough. Mebbe I'm a wuss. Have you seen "The Passion"? Would you recommend it?
