2. What a wonderful date!!

My first date was to see the movie "Summer School"... You've got much better taste than my date had.

3. Brilliant

I heard it on radio when it first came out. The announcer said that listeners that day had a chance to enjoy it BEFORE it became popular and trite. We did.

The message I came away with was that the historical Jesus was beyond our reach and understanding, that we could not help but view him through the lens of our own society.
