ABBA has been one group that successfully touches the heart opening us to joys and getting a victory over the uglyness of heartbreak by having the uglyness turned into a work of beauty, healing, and fun. A little foretast that good is more powerful than evil. Enjoy! (and remenber to keep the members in our prayers.)

Kind of a Scandinavian Seekers.

Keven u got that right!
O Amelia! I swear your my girlfriend!
Olger yaaah!

Saw the movie this evening. Meryl Streep is to die for! Could have done without Pierce Brosnan though. (Who told him he could sing?) The closing credits was a blast!

I think the last movie I watched was Bride and Prejudice (Bollywood sendup of the Jane Austen classic) and Mamma Mia will be next on the list, it has only just been released here....nice to get some positive reviews.

Cricket my buddy said the same thing about Peirce Bronson!!

I think this is one I will attend in the theater. Some things just have to be seen on the big screen.

I must say something regarding my own personal demons.
God convicted me to throw out all my wordly music tied to my homosexualty. So along time ago I got rid of my ABBA music so I dont listen to them anymore. Well...
I have seen them on youtube since and played on the radio as well as in stores. I still love it. It was one of the hardest things to do was to throw them in the trash. My albums,CD's, VHS,collectables, ect.

I grew up with an indifferent, yet angry mother and a raging rabid father. When my little sis was born for the first time I saw my mom love something. And I remember believing in my deep core that If only I was a girl my mom would love me too.

I identified with girls and not boys. All the music that touched me and my faves growing up would mostly be lady singers. So when Abba came out-then Pat Benatar -
then Madonna I would try to sing like them be like them and so on.
Abba is an escape for me. And it got to the point in my christian walk that I had to throw them out or be consumed with them.
I still need prayer regarding this. Its not easy to sever connections with things that make me escape myself but God wants me to escape to HIM alone!

Wow. This thread is all news to me. My generation didn't have ABBA. Guess it came along when my kids were growing up. So I'm glad to hear this music; it does seem pleasant, all right.

I'll be praying for you, Orange. You're on the right path; just don't let this resurgence of interest in ABBA divert you. [Staying away from ABBA is for you like staying away from double chocolate fudge brownies is for me! We just can't break over for even once -- that would just get us off track.]

Cheers....
