Mighty Clouds of Joy remind me of The Sensational Nightingales


which leads to where this post was heading in the first place... sometimes [a lot of the time - some of you would and probably will say] things get convoluted.

The Mighty Clouds of Joy clip reminds me of The Music Box. This video parable from 1980 is a classic.

MUSIC BOX is a parable, a simple story with a special meaning. It's about a weary man who lives in a cold lifeless city. He has a boring job and is unconnected to his family. One day everything changes. In a snowy alley, he receives the gift of a magical music box.

A man trudging home from work through a dreary, snowy city is surprised by a joyous group of gospel-singing, tuxedoed angels. They give a special gift of love and life to the man: a magical box and the wondrous story of a loving king.

MUSIC BOX is a modern parable of the joy-filled life in Christ, and our responsibilities to share the joy.

In the tradition of Christ's parables and the allegorical fiction of C.S. Lewis, MUSIC BOX is a must for anyone who needs a little "Hallelujah" amid the "Ho-Hum."

It must be good - whenever I showed it - people got upset. It's a great parable. I love it. I haven't seen it in ages.
