I woke up this morning wondering what, if anything, I would share about last night. I went to a prescreening of “The Da Vinci Code” with my friend Ruth after she won free tickets.<\/p>\n

Let me back up and explain….I haven’t read the book. I haven’t wanted to read the book. And, I love books. But I just never had any interest in this book – before or after the controversy started. We even had a Sunday School on the book\/movie and the heresy contained – but Eric and I couldn’t go, and we thought no biggie – we don’t care to read\/see the book anyway. But we were surrounded with it! The school where Eric teaches was providing booklets to educate the parents about the heresy. The church where we used to attend is showing some sort of video in June to which we were invited. And, of course, I mentioned that our own church had taken time out of it’s series on theology to explain the heresy. <\/p>\n

But, then Ruth called and she had won tickets and would I like to go…I admit I agreed more out of a desire to have a girls night out than a desire to see the movie. But we went and it was good! I wish I had read the book because books are ALWAYS better than movies and this was a good story. <\/p>\n

And, as far as the heresy – well, I can’t wait to open the theology and history books that we have (and believe me we have TONS) and read the truth. I feel the same way about this movie as I did about “National Treasure” – it was highly entertaining and I can’t wait to read the REAL history. <\/p>\n

Would I recommend anyone else go? Well, that’s your decision. As far as the heresy…I think it will open a door for some great discussions. However, there is a couple of scenes involving a monk that were VERY graphic. My friend and I were both looking away for those scenes. I think they could have done without them!<\/p>\n

I’m glad I didn’t pay for the movie – but it was an entertaining evening with a friend. And I look forward to some great conversations with my DH and others after they view the movie.<\/p>\n
