Watched "The Sound of Music" tonight with Julie Andrews from 1965. My wife loves that movie and I certainly like it, too. It had been a while... such beauty, and a reverence for God.

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.

Quite a few revisions but most every time the reality is even better than the movie.

Their music director and promoter was not "Max" but their family priest.

When they fled, Maria had birthed two more kids, with her third born later.

Their vibrant Catholicism was even more solid than apparent in the movie, with the two worst theology songs (Confidence in Me and Something Good) being written specially for the movie against Maria's wishes.

And there was another whole book's worth of material available on how God provided for them as they settled in the mountains of Vermont and dedicated businesses and music to him (many descendants are alive today).
