Day by day

It’s April again! Woowee, I can hardly believe it. It came in like a lion–stormy!
I spent yesterday getting the house back in semi-order after our busy and fun-filled weekend. Laundry, dishes, toys.
Just the usual.
I had DVR’d Godspell (1973) when it was on TCM on Easter and I watched about 20 minutes of it. It is of an era, for sure, but it is pretty unwatchable I’m afraid.
I remember in high school the choir from another school came and sang selections of it in chapel and I thought hearing the words to old Anglican hymns sung to sultry tunes was pretty cool. (Turn back, oh man! Forswear thy foolish ways!) The whole thing is really kind of high school quality though. Seriously I wish they had done it at KHS–the boy would have been great in it! I loved the cast album and listened to it a lot in college, but I don’t think I ever saw the whole play performed. Day By Day was a big hit. I had forgotten that DC Talk covered it in 1995.
It is also interesting to note that in the movie, which takes place in Manhattan, the city looks terrible–dirty, run-down. Central Park is a mess. Thankfully the park was renovated in the following decades. We are so used to seeing NYC photographed to look good, but not so in this movie. The production values are generally very low.
As is often the case, things you thought were great as a teenager do not hit you the same way years later. Thank goodness, right?
And I really liked this about a man who died in the pulpit.
dual personalities 
That story about Dr. Edman is wild and sad. At one of our graduation ceremonies back in the day, not one, but two people died. When the first speaker had a heart attack and died, the doctor in the audience who came to help him then had his own heart attacked and fell on top of the first man’s body. I never heard that anyone prayed but it would have been nice.
That is WILD!
A great link with insight from John Piper!
