(Originally written February 26, 2004)
I saw Mel Gibson's movie "The Passion of the Christ" yesterday. I know who killed Jesus. I did.
Of course I knew that before seeing Mel's movie because I have read the Bible. Yet, I must say that seeing this movie - a choreograph of pain about Christ's torture before and on the cross - has definitely expanded the dimensions of my understanding and appreciation for what it took for Jesus to choose to die as He did for my sins. Never before has a movie moved me to the point where my neck was wet with tears. Yet, please don't think it was the raw violence that brought those tears - as if the intensity of the movie overwhelmed my body. No, it was other things that moved me the most powerfully; things which I prefer remain private between me and Jesus for now.

The Olympics in Greece have officially begun. Along with the traditional hopes and expectations of success by individual athletes and entire nations, there is also a palpable concern and angst about potential terrorism at the first games since 9/11. To prevent any terror attacks the Greeks have spent a record amount of money putting in place a vast and varied web of security and protection. In fact, one Greek official voiced that what they had done was ?more than humanly possible.?

Recently, a young man at our church experienced a very long bout of severe abdominal pain. Many of us had grown quite concerned - especially when we found out that surgery was imminent.
One evening, whilst picking up my youngest daughter from a youth group meeting, my cell phone rang. I answered and promptly received an update, from this fellow?s father-in-law, informing me that a ruptured appendix was one of the things surgeons were about to explore for. I passed the news to the present youth sponsors and then began the drive home. Along the way my daughter asked me what an appendix did. I replied that I did not know. Her response was, ?It must be one of those parts that God put in our bodies to make us more complicated.?

At 4:10 am, on April 29, 1903, seventy to eighty million tonnes of rock slid off the face of Turtle Mountain, killing approximately 75 people and trapping many in the little town of Frank, Alberta. Amongst those trapped by the Frank slide were 17 miners who took 12 hours to dig out of their entombment. The elation of reaching daylight was short lived as their eyes adjusted and the panorama of their devastated town came into focus. These men were the last of the survivors to be found - that is until Charlie was discovered.

Andrew Stawicki is always extremely and generously nice to me when we meet because I saved his life when he was shipwrecked in 1998. Really. Ok, technically it was Bob Bullen, a man who used to go to my church, Larry Davis, my dad, the US Coast Guard, and myself who helped rescue him.
