When did you last see the face of God?
Last weekend, my family took the time to watch the Tom Hanks’ movie, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. The movie is about the encounters between the popular children’s show host Fred Rogers and the magazine journalist Lloyd Vogel, who was assigned to interview Mr. Rogers.
