At the Cross, the dutiful son

As Westerners, we miss a very important event at the cross. Mary, Jesus mother, was there. The Bible never says what happened to Joseph, but we can assume he was dead. As the first born son, it was Jesus responsibility to care for his aging mother. Everyone in the Eastern cultures know this.

So, here he is, dying, and Jesus makes sure his mother is taken of by one of his disciples. What a beautiful and touching image of him making sure she would be loved and cared for, and not tossed out in the streets penniless.

A very significant event. An important one. Don't over look it!

'Why Not Question' : Movie Review - 'A Walk in my Shoes'

'A Walk in my Shoes' follows what happens to a teacher when she condemns a mother and suddenly finds herself living the other woman's life. She discovers matters are not what she thought and why her student has been having such difficulty in her class. It also features a young woman who the viewer is lead to believe is probably an angel.

The film is an interesting fantasy after the tradition of 'It's a Wonderful Life' and 'Touched by an Angel'. With an open ending, the viewer is left to believe there might be more in this series with the 'angel'. This has yet to happen. Again a somewhat predictable plot line but heart tugging as you follow the teacher as her student's mother and their struggles.

On a scale of 1 to 5, it is a 3.
