DaVinci Code
Saw it last night in a pre-release deal.
Interesting, yet my thoughts aren't fully grounded as I haven't read the book yet. I may now read it for more details. I guess the movie left large chunks of detail out.
I struggle with the big deal everybody is making about this book/movie. Isn't our faith supposed to be founded on the experiences we've had with Jesus? Not seeing him on the big-screen or pages of a fictional book. My faith is grounded on Jesus' love I experience daily. I think that questions are a great way to open yourself up to let Jesus' love pour in. I think even the tough questions that may shake the ground the Church was founded on are good questions for you on a personal level. I don't want to belittle the history of the Church with this post and thats not my point. My problem is that we focus on facts facts facts.
I wonder why we put all of our energy towards a book/story like this to have people "boycott the movie cause we dont want to line Dan Brown's pockets with even more money" Yet we sit and don't even know most of our neighbors names, have no idea about the life of the person behind the Caribou Coffee counter, or go to happy hours with co-workers and talk about nothing and go home with no idea of how they are loving their wife/husband or families and neighbors.
CHALLENGE: meet a neighbor you haven't met. learn their names… I've wanted to meet this couple for some time now, they moved in 2 houses away a year ago. But I have done nothing but wave from a distance, hoping they'd make the first move.. I am going to meet them this weekend…
so, did you meet them?
I was out doing yard work a lot this weekend, didn't see them at all yet. I did make initial contact with those behind and to the right of my house… My neighbor Sue said she thinks I look great and must have lost weight… I think I have added some… Must be the new haircut.
I am not letting this go…
I did meet them.. Tad and Ali…
From DC, very good people
