“Until you stirred him up I had no trouble with God.”*

I spent most of yesterday catching up on my Bible Study and community group homework–no kidding, it was a lot. So I don’t have a lot to say today, except happy birthday to the great William Powell (1892-1984).

This wonderful actor was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor three times: for The Thin Man (1934), My Man Godfrey (1936), and Life with Father (1947). I suggest we all toast him and watch one of these movies.

I am partial to Life With Father (1947) wherein Powell plays Father, the quintessential Episcopalian:

Father: I don’t go to church to be preached at as though I were some lost sheep

Vinnie: Clare, you don’t seem to understand what the Church is for.

Father: Vinnie, if there’s one place the Church should leave alone, it’s a man’s soul!

Indeed. Enjoy your Thursday!

*Father
