Modern Parables

mikeandsus

A friend directed me to Bible study videos of Jesus’ parables. The videos and extra materials are available to purchase on disc or as downloads. Modern Parables is allowing us to view all six of their films in their entirety for a limited time. I particularly liked The Widow and the Judge and The Sower. I enjoyed the others, too. For more thoughts about The Sower video, go to the post at the main Sower site. These videos could be used for evangelistic purposes and are of high quality. In fact, I sent the link to Modern Parables to a … Continue reading Modern Parables

Our entertainers for the night work at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. All of the performers were from the Congo originally. You can even see them perform in someone’s home video.

Visiting a New Neighbor

mikeandsus

Ben is moved in to his new apartment this week and ready to start work on his first full-time permanent job on Monday. Ben, Mike and Sus took three days to drive (31 hours round trip) with his car and our van packed with his things. We had most of Tuesday to help him unpack and run some errands. We had barely unloaded the van when one of his “neighbors” dropped by to say “Hello.” It appears, though, that this little guy looks more interested in visiting the kitchen than getting to know the new neighbor from Florida!
