Wow! I bet you never expected to break your long movie fast with an "R" rated film. :-) Terry wrote: > making me wonder how the full moon figured in the story. It is historically accurate that there was a full moon on that night. Terry wrote: > As He finishes praying, a large snake crawls up > to him and He stomps on it's head.

I was greatly moved and blessed by Gibson putting such a thing into the movie because prophetically, this is exactly what Jesus did. For a man to portray the prophetic along with the historical like this was a very good indicator to me. Besides, the way he made Christ first simply without any fear as the snake crawled upon him, then after resisting temptation and reaching some resolve, he quickly stomped the snake with little hesitation or carefulness, all this struck a chord with me. I guess I simply related to it and how temptation and the victorious outcome comes about.

One day I would enjoy meeting you and spending an evening talking about the things of the Lord. I think I would learn a lot. Peace be with you.
