1/3

As of yesterday, I am 1/3 of the way through the Bible for 2010.
I've been reading with a pen. Passages that get underlined also get written down for future reference.
Each time I read through the Bible this year, i'm going to compare notes from each version to see how they're different. Just to see. Just to see.

Watched Star Wars Episode II last night.
One scene stuck out to me in particular. It was after Anakin finds his mother. She died in his arms. He then became full of rage and killed all of the Tuscan Raiders who had taken her captive.
Then he and the family that had purchased his mother buried her in the sand of Tatooine. There was another grave stone. It had everything the final ceremony has here on earth- mourning, tears, flowers.
But no pastor.

That's something that I've noticed more than ever this time through watching Star Wars: the complete paganism of the entire galaxy that George Lucas created. Everyone does their own thing. There is no direction, other than the general consensus that Jedis are usually right. In fact, everyone except the Jedis and those that deal with them regularly seem to be motivated entirely by greed and nothing more. There's violence in all corners of every planet. Everything is corrupt. By the middle of Episode II, Emperor Palpetine controls both sides of two powers about to go to war. That's messed up.

The world without Jesus is messed up.
