Start at the Beginning.

It's the beginning of Holy Week. This is my absolute favorite time of the year. A spiritual odyssey. Even when my spiritual life is dry (which is usually is), this is the week I can tap into a liturgy that makes Jack from Titanic look like the spiritual equivelant of a mouse compared to Christ's lion.

I hope your Holy Week is a true journey of love!

You need a description of events on Palm Sunday, Good Friday, & Easter. There is some confusion.

Favorite Flicks

Don't have a clue what to put on your Netflix queue? Well, I happen to like movies a lot. It's a trait, and a desirable one I might add, that I inherited from my dad.

One of me and Dan's all time favorite movies are those by Iranian Director Majid Majidi. They are at once inspiring and tragic. Try any one of these. You won't be left thinking: "Well there went two hours of my life I'll never get back." Honestly, they make Hollywood's movies look pitiful and self-serving. This isn't the exhaustive list of his movies, just the one's we've seen and recommend.

1. Children of Heaven. About the beautiful love and sacrifice a boy makes for his sister. Second favorite!!!

2. The Color of Paradise. A widower seeks to marry again but is embarassed by his son who is blind. This one is by far my favorite.

3. Baran. This one's a simple love story between a young Iranian man and a young Afghani woman. Third favorite, but not by much.

4. The Willow Tree. This one is about a blind professor who temporarily regains his sight. But in receiving it, he sees life so different, that he wishes he had never been able to see at all. It's not my favorite, but I still liked it all the same.
