The Nativity Story

[Furls Fire]

Oh sweet mercy, this looks absolutely wonderful. It opens next weekend, so while we are in San Francisco next week for World AIDS Day, we are all going to see it.

And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found
favour with God.

And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a
son, and shalt call his name JESUS.

He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest:
and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his
kingdom there shall be no end.

Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know
not a man?

And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy
Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall
overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of
thee shall be called the Son of God.

--Luke 1:30-35 KJV

I saw a commercial for this last night. It does look interesting.

Well, it was beautiful! Keisha Castle-Hughes (the little girl from Whale Rider) was absolutely eloquent as Mary. This was by far the best depiction of Jesus' birth that I have ever seen. It was eloquent, it was humble and it made my heart sing and cry at the same time.

...And He shall be called Wonderful!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

She is a wonderful actress. I would be willing to see the film just for her.

If I get a chance I think I will go see it.
