i have a confession to make...

and this will probably come as a shock to some of my closest friends........

i have never been able to sit through The Lord of the Rings.

we own parts I & II on dvd -- my sons love it; they watch them several times a year. i cannot do it. i've tried on several occasions.

does this make me a bad person?

i understand it is make-believe, but there is a true spiritual bent to it. i also know the guy i have pictured was rudy and now plays a hot shot counter-terrorism unit bossy know-it-all on 24. i need to get past that i believe.

if this is such a spiritual film, why am i blinded?
do i need intercessory prayer?
someone to lay hands on me?

since i am still *down and out* with the flu, i shall go pop it in and see if i feel differently. i'll be back to report my findings later. until then, you can step up to the plate and convince away. i want to like it, i really do.

*sigh*
