Sunday Drive: It's Magic

Doris Day's exquisite rendering of this lovely tune, featured in the movie Romance on the High Seas, was her breakthrough hit as a solo artist in 1948.

Russ Manley said...: Yes, and so pure and seemingly effortless that I took it for granted all my life. Now at this late age, I am listening to her recordings with a new sense of wonder.; April 29, 2016 at 1:02 PM
Davis said...: Yes exactly but I expect I was put off by the movie persona and I couldn't hear how pure and lovely her voice was.; April 30, 2016 at 1:25 PM

Prayer for Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, harmony; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may seek not so much to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

Churches say that the expression of love in a heterosexual monogamous relationship includes the physical, the touching, embracing, kissing, the genital act - the totality of our love makes each of us grow to become increasingly godlike and compassionate. If this is so for the heterosexual, what earthly reason have we to say that it is not the case with the homosexual?

It is a perversion if you say to me that a person chooses to be homosexual. You must be crazy to choose a way of life that exposes you to a kind of hatred. It's like saying you choose to be black in a race-infected society.

If God, as they say, is homophobic, I wouldn't worship that God.
