I'm sitting here, taking a break,listening to the main theme for Star Wars right after listening to one of the themes for The Lord of the Rings. All of a sudden it hit me. Gracious to goodness. These are Messianic visions.

You know, Evil is running rampant through creation doing its dastardly deeds and along comes Mr. Messiah, who, with the aid of His trusty servitors and a comely handmaiden or two, proceeds to do in the nasty Galactic Overlord (devil, Sauron, Palpatine). The name's not important; only that this is the very epitome of evil.

I find myself wondering if that's the REAL basis for the popularity of these two films. Doesn't it satisfy something deep within us all to watch the bad guys get clobbered for good? Don't we wish it would happen in real life, not just in reel life?

Uh, this is gonna grate on you non-religious and/or non-Christian types, but you know me, I take no guff from nobody! So here goes.

Guys, it's a fait accompli! Himself did it almost 2,000 years ago. All that's left is for us to clean up our own individual acts and behave toward others as we would have them behave toward us. I know, I know, it's a tall order, especially in view of the very large number of politically incorrect types (read terrorists) charging about the planet doing their level best to make all of mankind NOT themselves as extinct as the dodos we all too often resemble. But it strikes me that if each of us will just do our best to BE the best we can be, then think, just think what it could mean. There are millions and millions of basically decent people on this old earth. You're one of them. YOU be nice. Let others do their own schtick. YOU MAKE NICE! That's all. You don't have to harry folks or criticize them or mock them to get them to do it your way. Just make nice on each person you meet.

Making nice on you who read this blog.... HI there! Glad to "see" ya. Hope everything in your life is hummin' right along. God bless you, every one!
