The Chosen season 4 is out soon & I'm excited and anxious. I'm not looking forward to seeing Jesus crucified.
There hasn't been one episode where I don't tear up for one reasoner another... but season 3 -gets me a few times! When Jesus is speaking to little James about healing -I end up sobbing. How Jesus explains why he has not healed him - is powerful, everything for a reason & God only gives us what we can handle. I do feel as if I've had my own struggles explained, for I have questioned God a few times, about a few things.
Remember when we use to get excited about T.V. specials... season finales & The Oscars! Times & priorities have changed, I can't remember the last time I watched the Oscars and have no desire to do so. I use to like the gowns, actors and now.. it's all so superficial I don't have the desire any longer to give any attention for the Golden Idol'. We have learned recently about abuse (mental & physical), control, and lies of the industry. Time to take off the rose coloured glasses and see The Golden Idol for what it is -a distraction from God. Reading the Bible, a stark reminder of the Golden bull' created for the restless to worship any way they chose. Making up idols and rules as they went along.
I am grateful for actors who entertain but they are just regular humans like the rest of us, some aren't even that great of actors imo, they just catch a lucky break & many like all business -have family that have helped them get where they have.
It's the story that's important, having actors that represent them well is a bonus but it's the story that counts. Jonathan Roumie portrays Jesus wonderfully. No doubts it has effected his daily life as well - God only chooses those that will handle it. I was hoping to see 'Jonathan & Jesus' on Prime but it does not appear to be available in Canada, yet. I'm tired of that.. if it's available, make it available to all. We all now know, it only takes a click of a button. Why make its wait & probably pay more too.
You know what else I'm tired of - the exchange rate.. I purchased something recently in Canadian (there was no indication it would be in any other amount) but noticed it came out of my bank account in American and for quite a bit more & a shipping price added of another $20. Forget it. I was grateful for the reminder to BUY Canadian. It's one thing to pay a few bucks more but to pay over $150 on an item just because it's coming via the states made in another country.. nope. It's a tiny item in a small box, it makes no sense - only reminds me of the bull Canadians deal with daily when shopping on line. We get ripped off, YET - I have made other purchases, one example was white gouache (Windsor newton) which I ordered off of amazon it came from the UK, $5. less than the Canadian price from a Canadian retailer & had free shipping! WTF? There's no rhyme or reason only lots of greed.
The Chosen is by far the best representation of The Bible I've ever seen, I know Jesus being crucified will be powerful and I'll probably be crying... I'll remember - it's not about the crucifixion - it's about the Resurrection! Dallas Jenkins is inspiring and inspired! Many scenes, the lighting alone sets up the perfect mood. The relationships: Jesus & his mother - Mary, in season three had me crying when Mary understands the time is 'soon'. The walking on water with Simon -amazing! I'm excited.
I've watched a couple of things lately that have been enjoyable, Platonic with Seth Rogan was funny & realistic of relationships, it made me like him a little more. I'm trying to watch true stories, documentaries or feel good movies or anything that inspires and leave me with a feel good energy'. We watch television for a break - to be entertained & be inspired too. For The best inspiration, I'll read The Holy Bible, currently I'm fascinated with the detail God puts into creations like the The Ark of the Covenant, fascinating.
Created to create & inspire. Thanks Dallas - & the cast of The Chosen... you deserve an Oscar.
