Just a Few Thoughts on Easter...

Hey guys! I just thought I would share something with everyone. I must admit, I haven't had much experience in the Catholic Church (In fact, I'm getting all of my sacraments on Saturday, so technically I'm not in the Church), but this Easter is very different from my other Easters. This year, I didn't care nearly as much about candy as I usually do. I transferred into a Catholic school this year, and for Easter we watched The Passion of the Christ. Even though that movie had been out for a few years now, this was the first time I had watched it, and it was intense.

That movie was researched for years by Mel Gibson, as his way of atonement for everything he's done in the past. It was graphic, but very moving. I almost cried when Mary and Jesus saw each other while Jesus carried his cross. It really made me think about the true meaning of Easter.

I don't think the Easter Bunny was crucified, haha. So when you're thinking about the Easter Bunny this Sunday and all the chocolate, just try to watch this movie once. It will definitely change your outlook. It definitely changed mine.

Dante's Trivia Inferno!

Hey guys! There's this really fun game I found on the internet. It's a Catholic trivia game, where if you get enough questions right, you make it to heaven. It's really hard, but it's addicting. It took me about a week to make it to heaven. How long will it take you?
