thanks harry

today i watched my recorded star wars movies from the labor day star wars marathon (WTF does star wars have to do with labor day??? well who cares i guess as long as theres a star wars marathon). what a great plot!! same with harry potter. both tell the tales of the heros internal battle between their light and dark sides, fighting for the truth, and being the best friend you can be.

seriously, the timeless quotes from the sages yoda, obi-wan, and dumbledore are wise words to live by. who cant take "there is no try, there is only do  and do not." "luke: i dont believe it!! yoda: and that is why you fail."  "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." "It’s the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more." and of course "There are all kinds of courage. It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends."
man oh man i tell ya, i cant tell you how many sunday schools and small groups ive gone to, there are obviously ethical lessons from the bible....but honestly i learned more about friendship and loyalty and love from start wars and harry potter. is that sad?? hhhmmmm i dont know if it is. i guess people take away and connect to different lessons. to some people, the baghavad gita, the new testiment, and for me, harry potter. dont judge.
