DaVinci

Thank you Kelly. You lent me the best book I think I've ever read; ever. I put off the ending on purpose because as bad as I wanted to know it, I wanted to save the ending because I knew it would be good. I will return it soon. Actually, the DVD is coming out tomorrow and I'll be at the store buying it first thing after I get the Oldest on the bus. After we watch it, I might read the book again. You know, read the book, watch the movie, then read the book again to make sure you get all the details and don't miss anything? This book is good.

I am Catholic. This book makes you think about lots of things. Reading it doesn't make me not want to be Catholic but it makes you think......there are possibilities that you never even dreamed were possible. Makes you take stock in what you have been taught and believe to your core. I still believe in those things, and with the death of Lucas, without those beliefs, I think I would have sunken into the Earth, never to come back. All I'm saying is, wow, could those things really be? Even a fraction of a possibility? Really? Even if they are, even if they are, there is still God. I know that. I don't think anyone can take that faith away from me or anyone else for that matter. Having our faith is what gets us through this life. It's like a big rope and you hang on for all you're worth. If you let go, you fall down down down.

Read this book. At first, it's a bit slow. You have to dig in. Once you do, you don't want to put it down. Really good read. Can't wait for the DVD and you know I'll be watching it with my honey tomorrow night. I've already filled him on lots of interesting things and now he's excited to see the movie too. Just because it's a different point of view. Some of the things in that book (most factual things anyway) are supposed to be true and that just blows me away. How come I never knew these things before? Is it truly that the Church doesn't want us to know?

I don't know.

Check it out.
