Taxi-ing with Jesus

Heard the most random compilation of music that reminded me of Jesus on the flight out of Dulles. Actually, most of them were played during the pre-flight taxi. It's amazing how God used the following secular songs, the majority seemingly meant to mock Christianity, to remind me of Jesus:

American Pie, by McLean – lyrics "...and do you have faith in God above, if the Bible tells you so."

Love Reign O'er Me, by The Who – lots of yelling, I thought it was "Lord Rain on Me" at first!

All You Zombies, by the Hooters – lyrics start "Holy Moses Met the Pharaoh..." and basically tells the Genesis story up through Noah, are they trying to say Christians are zombies?

lyrics of a yet unidentified song (help me here!) started with "In the valley of the shadow of LA" reminded me of Psalm 23:4 "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death..."

Thunder Road, by Springstein – lyrics "...waste your summer praying in vain, for a savior to rise from these streets..."

The five previous songs were heard while still on the taxiway, this song was heard in-flight.
The Black Parade, by My Chemical Romance - lyrics "...will you be the savior of the broken, defeated and the damned...He said one day I'll leave you..."

DO NOT READ FURTHER UNLESS YOU WANT A PREVIEW OF THE MOVIE "BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA"

God also tapped me on the shoulder during the in-flight movie to once again remind me of Jesus. Out of about six choices, and I didn't have to share the remote with anyone, I came across "Bridge to Terabithia". It was surprisingly very sad, similar to "My Girl", where there are young friends, a boy (Jess) and a girl (Leslie), and I'll try not to spoil the rest of the story. At one point they had a Jesus discussion. Leslie was unchurched at home but went to church once with Jess's family. Here's the discussion they had with his little sister, Mabel, in the back of a pick-up truck after church (I watched the same movie three times, except the sad part only the first time, because I was fascinated with this discussion and wrote down a little more of it every time):

Leslie: "I'm really glad I came, that whole Jesus thing is really interesting."

Mabel: "It's not interesting, it's scary! God will damn you to hell if you don't believe in the Bible!"

(At some point Leslie said "I think it's beautiful.")

(Don't remember what the response was to that, something once again about God damning us to hell if we don't believe in the Bible.)

Leslie: "I don't think so, he's too busy running all of this..." (arms open to the beautiful scenery).

Jess was reluctant to let Leslie come along in the first place, said "You'll think it's boring." She practically had to talk him into letting her go along to church with them. Then she was the one to bring up the subject of Jesus afterwards. The churched kids thought of Jesus and the Bible as scary and the unchurched girl thought it was beautiful, though she didn't seem to believe.

It wasn't until the third viewing that I caught this line, spoken sorrowfully by Leslie when they found an old, abandoned truck in the woods, their first time in 'Terabithia'.

Leslie: "Too bad for them, they got so close."

Jess: "What are you talking about?"

Leslie: "To the Kingdom [of Terabithia]."

Is that an analogy about her? I'd like to watch it again in a group setting and have a discussion about it. Maybe I'll have to arrange a movie night here!
