B&W Movies

The time of year approaches where I drag out some old movies and watch them. My favorite I suppose is the "Bishop's wife". It gets me thinking about the importance in life of not getting caught-up in being important. The great cathedral had distracted the Bishop, not that it wasn't an important thing to do, but that he'd not seen the value of everyday life. His new assistant seemed annoyingly drawn to the ordinary and utterly flippant about the ministry the Bishop-Henry had. When I'm tempted to overlook the caress of one of my kid's hand, the lick of one of my puppies, or the laughter of my spouse, I seek out the wisdom of Henry's assistant.
