Les Miserables Do You Hear the People sing

Post by stuck » Thu Jun 22, 2023 9:58 am

I went to Les Miserables last night in Salt Lake. I really like the song Do you hear the people sing. And reading the lyrics reminds me of those of us who have changed our beliefs or have left the church. Sometimes I feel like it would be cool to start a revolution. But I guess it's already started some more overtly than others. And for some of us we have to be a bit more subtle to be able to get along with our spouses and family right? Here is a link to the lyrics--https://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/l/les ... _sing.html

That's one of my favorites too. I think we are all a part of our own revolution. Sometimes the most rebellious act is to be ourselves in a culture that despises nonconformity.

I know my Grandma was a fan of the book since she named one of her children Valjean. The 25th anniversary showing on PBS was really something.

I can well imagine Elder Thénardiers being one of the Brethren, and of course, Elder Javert.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.
