This is an amazing and thought-provoking post. Probably one of the best that I’ve seen regarding Mark 16.17-18. I remember watching “The Holy Ghost People” back in the mid-90s and first being presented with such a literal interpretation.

Beck’s analysis is far more useful, however. Rather than relegating this passage to “an aberration,” it confronts and challenges my courage. Snakes, I have not handled. “Snakes in the Grass?” Many many times - and I have not enjoyed it.

Joan of Arc - Frank Schoonover

A beautiful depiction.

“Sex is about SO much more than “sexy.” Sex is about helping your wife recover for months from a very difficult delivery of a baby you sort of had something to do with; sex is about loving the wrinkles and grey hair or thinning hair. Sex is about sitting by the bed wishing you could be the one suffering instead of them. Sex is about still feeling off balance when you have to go without your wedding band for some reason. It’s about staying together through times when you don’t feel in love, don’t feel dedicated, don’t feel “committed” but remember that before God and his church you made a promise, a covenant, and you’ll honor it—and discovering that those who keep faith with that formal, so-called legalistic boundary enter a garden of joy known only to those who surrender. “Sexy” in our culture is a sad, pale cartoon made up of too much cleavage, too little self-respect, too much butt-crack and too many tramp-stamps, and over-tight clothes. “Sexy” testifies to our emptiness, a hunger, but not real desire. Lots of energy, but is it really passion? Lots of smoke, but not a fire to light your life, warm your soul and nourish your heart. The eyes of the goddess are painted, but the eye-holes are empty. The courtesan looks alluring, but the heart is stone-cold. As long as we keep chasing “sexy” we’ll never find the real thing. Instead, we get Madonna and Lady Gaga. And we deserve them.”

— Dr. Lawson Stone from Yale University

The Passion of Joan of Arc, from 1928, is available online and translated into English here. It is simply amazing. Maria Falconetti as Joan gives what is widely regarded as one of the best performances on film, ever.

Truly truly profound and an amazing film. The cinematography, for an early silent film is remarkable. The music is both haunting and beautiful. While the movie is an investment of time, it is well worth watching.

A keeper. -n8

The Lord is my banner. Exodus 17:15.

The modern day take on this, in my opinion is: the LORD is my political party. Not conservative or liberal. Not Republican or Democrat.

“Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love’s sake. Amen.”
