I had the album somewhere around then and loved it.

Then I got saved in 1981.

Saw the film around the late 80's and it didn't match my memory of the picture(s) the album drew.

My born again Christianity got in the way of promoting it, although in the beginning, I LOVED the album.

How's THAT for growth, eh ?

Isn’t it amazing how getting saved pretty much spoils you for the things we did before we knew Christ? Back then we didn’t have an anchor for our faith and just sort of drifted from one experience to the next even though they were unhealthy for our soul.

Isn’t it also amazing how that after we were saved, we didn’t leave our old friends - they just sort of left us because they couldn’t take all the joy that was pouring out of our soul.

We tried to tell them . . . but they just wouldn’t understand so they distanced themselves from us.

Along with all that is the sudden discernment from the Holy Spirit where He pretty much tells us . . . that isn’t good for you!

And it gets pretty uncomfortable for us when we try to ignore that ‘still small voice.’

God bless!
