‘Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee’

Let’s see if we can get this blog started up today… Perhaps a little Beethoven: Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee, sung by the Mennonite Hour Singers.

The hymn shop is open and we’re taking requests.

Oh, good one. I find myself singing this one to myself occasionally. I’ll take a look and see what hymns I can come up with this morning.

This is one of my favorite hymns. So beautiful. Years ago, I think it was the movie “Sister Act” starring Whoopi Goldberg where her choir sang this song. Well, for me I hated the way they did it, they trashed and spoiled it…it seemed disrespectful to God and this beautiful hymn. I pulled the tape out of the player (shows my age), stomped on it and threw it away.

  What else could you have expected from Whoopi Goldberg? I’d walk a mile out of my way to avoid any movie she was in.

  This was a long time ago. At that time I had no idea what kind of human being she was. I now know what she is.

  We’ve all been disappointed by famous people.
