A friend sent me a link to this video on YouTube – so I snagged it* for your enjoyment here! [flv]http://media.kidology.org/flash/kblog/starwars-3yrold.flv[/flv] Luke loved sitting here listening to it! I can’t wait until he starts to understand and enjoy Star Wars. (no, he’s not seen it yet!) *I snag YouTube videos so that I still have them after they disappear, get moved, or are removed from YouTube.
OK, I somehow missed this at Christmas, but it is SO GOOD it is worth posting in January… have your Kleenex ready, its a tear jerker… There are so many subtle jokes that only true fans will catch, but even a casual Star Wars fan will still get a laugh out of it! ENJOY!
I often like to give my blog readers “sneak peeks” of things to come over on Kidology.org, and so here I go again. As I mentioned recently, Kidology Online Training is now live, with the first “Leadership Lab” titled (appropriately) First Things First. Well, the second Leadership Lab will be live in only a few days and is titled, Visionary Leadership. I’ll post more about it when it goes live, but due to the overwhelmingly positive feedback on the 100th Toybox Tale, “A Day in the Life of a Children’s Pastor,” – made for adults, rather than Kids, I did it again, bringing back one of the most asked-for characters I (kinda) created, NoDuh, the Wise One. In this, the 101st Toybox Tale, you get to listen in on the private session of a children’s pastor with her counselor… NoDuh, the Wise One, as he gently lets her know, that in order to survive in children’s ministry leadership, She Must Confront Vision! You Must Confront Vision! ENJOY! I’ll let you know when the rest of LAB 02 goes live!
What if Star Wars had come out in the 1920’s? It would probably have looked like this: I think it would be cool to do some Bible Stories for Kids Church in this style? Anyone ever seen that done?
A good friend of mine just instant messaged me about this church sermon series: Man, does this look GOOD! Here is an overview of the series: Check it out yourself at: Mariner’s Church (though from the URL the page will most likely change for the next series, that’s why I captured it here) All I want to know is, can I buy the sermon CDs???? I’m hoping you will be able to watch the sermons here
Luke got to hold his first light saber this week. It wasn’t his, it belongs to his kissing friend, but she let him hold it. It was a light up one from a circus… Without any instruction or prompting, he knew exactly what to do with it: Strong in the Force Luke is Attacking his father! Good thing it was only a toy! Being a dad is so much fun! Uh oh, gotta change a diaper now. Light sabers are fun, but there is the practical side to fathering too… peew, gotta go!
