Some beautiful pictures from the Bend Film Festival where Laundry and Tosca screened here.

A pastor from National Presbyterian Church used a few stories from Laundry and Tosca in a sermon, found here.

Carl Franzon wrote up a beautiful piece musing on some of the lessons he gleaned from the documentary Laundry and Tosca back in 2006, and I never even linked to it. Here’s an excerpt:

Each of us is called to something, to a vocation. Some may see Marcia has merely having a dream and following the dream. Or, we may choose to see it as her call from God. It is a calling that we live out in our family, our work, our church. It is not always easy, but when we follow that call, then the heartaches and bad days will seem small in comparison to the rewards, even if we don’t see the reward until we are told “well done, good and faithful servant.”

I am still not a big fan of opera, but I am a fan of Marcia and the folks who put together this film, a powerful story of call and following the call.
If you want to purchase the movie, visit the Fuller Seminary Bookstore.

Thank you for the kind words!

Laundry and Tosca continues to connect with people. Here are a few success stories from the last few months:

• Trinity Church Boston screened the film as part of its Reel Theology series in March.
• Eric Kuiper from RedNow mentioned the impact of exploring vocation in Laundry and Tosca in his review of Man On Wire, another incredible documentary from the past year.
• Back in August 2008, Cathy Barsotti led a discussion following a keynote screening of the film at the Reel Dialogue Conference in Sydney, Australia.

Thank you to those of you who make these special screenings happen. It’s wonderful to see the movie continuing it’s powerful mission of touching people’s lives…
