He's a guy that's wholesome and fresh...To us, he looks like a freak...
He's got goodness Mabel. Do you know what that is? No, of course you don't , we've forgotten, we're too busy being smart-alecs....Too busy in crazy competition for nothing.
If you haven't checked into Frank Capra movies you are missing some wholesome greatness of a better time.
I say let's bring it back, why not...why not. That is what we do in our family, we bring it back right here. Why not. We at least try to obtain a higher standard of a sweet home that honors God.
Why in the world do we want to buy into this culture layin' down?
We can be that culture of goodness to the world. It's so much more refreshing! So much more Peaceful...
Fix your thoughts on things that are true and honorable and right and pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise... ~Phillipians 4:8b
Check out Frank Capra, he was from the same Italian, Sicilian village as my grandpa. In fact, my Italian grandpa's family name as a neighbor is mentioned in one of the Capra biographies...Capra and my grandfather were both around the same age. To me, when I see photos of Frank Capra, he bears a slight resemblance to my Grandfather... My Grandpa Oddo was one of the sweetest best natured fellas around... I miss him. At this holiday season I especially miss him, my Grandma and my step-Daddy Al. I miss so many precious, sweet loved ones who are with God now.
Remembering these precious loved ones make me long for those Capra times...thoughts and hopes. With God though... we can be those Capra times right in our own homes! Why not?
Praying for our country and the Church.
Gotta love that Capra...
When we see this movie, who will we see as Mr. Deeds? Will it be us? I hope so. (big smile).
May we follow Goodness, Justice and Mercy all the days of our lives... To heck with the rest...as my Grandma Oddo would have said...
Will we be that guy or gal that's wholesome and fresh?
