2. Day of Redemption -- Lord Jesus
   One day of rest in a week of hard work, according to the pattern of God's creation order, was a great gift of God to mankind in paradise. It was ... a great gift to God's people Israel. It still is a great gift of a caring and gracious Father in heaven through Jesus Christ to the New Testament church. Since the day of rest and worship is God's gift, mankind, and in the first place the church, should receive and accept this gift and use it to God's glory in the proper, God-willed way. Sanctification of the day of rest still results in sanctification of all the days of the week and, thus, of the entire life of those who believe. Desecration of the day of rest results in increasing desacration of the other days of the week and of one's entire life.
3. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat -- Brothers

Hoping to rid themselves of Joseph forever, the brothers instead set in motion a powerful string of events which lead to Joseph’s installation as the king of Egypt’s right hand man.

   Having turned 50, Loggia began exploring other option, moving behind the camera to helm a 1980 episode of NBC's "Quincy, M.E." (which earned him membership in the Directors Guild of America). He went on to direct the pilot for CBS' "Magnum, P.I" that same year and perhaps would have been content to continue on that course had he not been cast in as Richard Gere's bullying, alcoholic father in "An Officer and a Gentleman" (1982). A new generation of filmmakers became aware of his gifts. He re-invigorated career received an additional shot when he received a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for his portrayal of a hard-nosed two-bit detective aiding lawyer Glenn Close in her defense of accused killer Jeff Bridges in "Jagged Edge" (1985). That same year. he graced the John Huston-directed black comedy "Prizzi's Honor" as one of the aging leaders of the "family".
5. Tom Conway -- George Sanders
   Tom Conway was the Falcon in ten of that series' entries. He starred in three Val Lewton horror classics. He appeared in comedies, musicals, two Tarzan films, and even science fiction films. He was early television's Detective Mark Saber but Tom Conway will probably be remembered as George Sanders' brother. Born into a wealthy family in pre-Bolshevik Revolution Russia, Thomas Charles Sanders might have followed his father as a rope manufacturer and inherited several estates. Had the family not been forced to flee to England, the brothers Sanders might never have added their names to the Hollywood saga.

9. Andy Kaufman -- People
   Andy Kaufman loved shocking audiences. But many people think he went too far when he got into a fight with professional wrestler Jerry Lawler live on the David Letterman show. For years no one knew if it was real or staged.
10. George Frideric Handel -- Halle Domkirche
    George Frideric Handel was born in Halle, Germany, on February 23, 1685. Even as a small boy he was very musical. This caused problems for Handel because his father hated music.

To be sure of that, he forbade Handel to play musical instruments.
