When I was a kid I was in lovewith Julie Andrews' characters... Maria, Mary poppins, etc. When I say "love" , I just mean that I wanted to be close to her, just like the children she cared for. Her singing made me feel spiritual, although when I was young I didn't understand.

Watching those movies as a grown man is something special. What I noticed, too, about "The Sound of Music" was how prominent a role God played. It was refreshing to see prayer, and humility, and joy, and a sense of guilt... and it just got me thinking: someone needs to start producing quality musicals like that again.

Enough of the explosions, violence, sex, etc. I guarantee that if a wholesome musical hit the big screen it would be well-received by a public yearning for role models who themselves yearn for God's grace within the script.

Just my thoughts on the evening before Easter. Have a blessed day with Christ in your heart.
