Long day at work today, but oddly enough, there weren't any crazies. Not a one. I think they were all behaving, on account of today being Good Friday.
This evening, my folks and I watched an utterly *excellent* documentary on PBS tonight: "The Face: The Life of Jesus in Art", a two part special done by the United States Catholic Conference's Communications Campaign. Wow! It covers everything from catacomb paintings to Byzantine icons to Grunewald's Gothic "Crucifixion", to ...Andy Warhol's really odd painting where it looked like he took a paint-by-number of Leonardo's "Last Supper" and added the Dove soap logo (the Holy Spirit?) and the General Electric logo (the Light of the World?). My mom had an odd look on her face at that one, so I said, "Okay... I guess that counts as inculturation."
