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!
