The Day and Night before on Day 24 of Christmas Viewing

Cultivating a Gracious Heart Through Giving
On this second weekend in Advent, Jesus' Sermon on the Mount teaches us a lesson in giving, as do two well known fictional characters whose giving took two different routes.
“Watch out! Don’t do your good deeds publicly, to be admired by others, for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven. When you give to someone in need, don’t do as the hypocrites do—to call attention to their acts of charity! ….they have received all the reward they will ever get. But when you give to someone in need, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is…

It's a Wonderful Life - Leadership Found in Good ole George Bailey...
Well, it’s that time of year again… when we watch the same movies we have seen dozens of times over and over. I have my favorites (Charlie Brown, Christmas Vacation, and The Christmas Story) some that are so-so ok, and then there are those that are no way. For me, It’s a Wonderful Life falls into a different category. I really like it, but do not watch it often (really cannot tell you why or why…

But What If We HAD/HADN'T?: The Flip Side Of Fate (A Lesson For National Karma Day)
A message for National Karma Day. A lesson in the choices we make...
It’s the blame game. We’ve all played it. We’re late for an appointment, or we miss our turn or worse, we have an accident. It’s so easy to look over at the person sitting next to you and say to them, “This wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t…”. I came close to that a few years ago when my wife promised my son she’d pick him up from the movie theater and then, after hanging up, asked me to go.…

Which political party is more likely to lead to economic gains
Or, who should be in charge for the sake of middle-class prosperity, Mr. Potter or George Bailey? Unemployment is a key economic indicator, as the rate is tied to whether companies are hiring or laying off workers. The whole point of unemployment benefits, after all, is economic insurance for businesses so that their customers continue to have money to buy the things they need, like food and…

Mary Mallory / Hollywood Heights: Carrie Jacobs-Bond, Pioneering Songwriter and Publisher
As wildly popular as Taylor Swift in her day, Wisconsin born Carrie Jacobs-Bond became viral the old fashioned way, through the sale of sheet music. Several of her songs became standards employed for years for special occasions. Music wasn’t a passion, but a way to survive adverse and turbulent times, and hopefully leave life better if only for a few moments. In the process, she “sung and…

An Interesting Slate of Viewing on Day 8
So this Sunday saw me playing lots of things in the background including “It’s a Wonderful Life”, “The Year Without A Santa Claus (which I jokingly note ‘Santa’ as one of if not THE best acting performances of Mickey Rooney), “It Happened On Fifth Avenue” and “Ben-Hur” (TCM was airing movies that were connected with Jesus Christ, since ‘Christmas’ is supposed to be about his birth.). I do want…

The Film Noir of Ralphie Parker and George Bailey
The Film Noir of Ralphie Parker and George Bailey
Over the winter holidays in the U.S., the films It’s a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Story play on TV in what sometimes is quite literally is a loop. Channels TBS and TNT have a marathon “24 Hours of A Christmas Story” that has caused me (a fan of the film and the stories it is based on) to change the channel. It’s a Wonderful Life is a great film and I have watched it many times. I don’t watch…

Jimmy Stewart: The Truth Behind the Legend by Michael Munn #Hollywood #BookReview
The #AudiblePlus catalog has a bunch of biographies of old Hollywood stars, so I added a few to my library. #JimmyStewart #TheTruthBehindtheLegend by #MichaelMunn #Hollywood #bookreview #audiobook #academyaward #rearwindow #itsawonderfullife
Many of the stars of the silver screen in twentieth-century Hollywood became national icons, larger-than-life figures held up as paragons of American virtues. Unfortunately, the private lives of actors such as John Wayne, Henry Fonda, and Errol Flynn rarely lived up to the idealistic roles they portrayed. However, James Stewart was known as the underdog fighter in many of his films and in real…

Weekends Are Meant To Be Relaxing. Right?
Weekends are made for chilling out, napping, reading, yard work, gardening, listening to vinyl records, and other mundane pursuits. To start off a lovely sunny Saturday, I find banks are failing in California and other branches across the US and Europe. Tech upstarts and shady banking boardroom skullduggery are the culprits, and they remind me of the classic movie, “It’s A Wonderful Life.” The…

I just want to be happy
How many times have I said …”I just want to be happy”…..in my head? Even though I know this is a futile thought…even silly, it is still there…floating around…like a albatross around my neck. My brain knows that being happy is a relevant term, one that is a mind-set not a way of life. My spirit knows that it rains on the just and the unjust…(its in the Bible….for pete’s sake!)) as well as living…
