Booples is such a find. it is, in its simplicity, perfect. the shows are short, to the point, and biblically based. each episode teaches a basic principle with brightly colored animation and ear-catching tunes. my 2 year old did not lose focus and wander off half-way through the video. the songs are easy to learn and children do not even realize they are memorizing scripture! i think what makes it so special though is its creator, bear cahill. he is not mass producing these in an effort to become rich and famous (although he probably wouldn't mind!). There is no huge production budget. it truly seems like a grass roots kind of thing. he works on them when he can and as God supplies the means. i wanted to share Booples with you other mothers because i think they are great. they don't cost a lot and they are well worth the money. if our kids are going to watch videos over and over again, shouldn't we be filling them with spirit-nourishing things? and wouldn't it be better to support a brother in the Lord in his mission to share the gospel in a fun and animated way rather than only feeding the Disney machine?<br />check out their website and let me know what you think. he also has a booples group on facebook!<br /><a href="http://www.booples.com/" onmousedown="'UntrustedLink.bootstrap($(this)," target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.booples.com/</a><br /></blockquote><br />How great is that? :) Praise God!BManhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17977809886457119201noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22740809.post-5932173495510442382008-12-22T19:05:00.000-08:002008-12-22T19:07:20.996-08:00Merry ChristmasJust a quick note to say Merry Christmas and though I need to hear this more than most, please try to keep the focus on Christ's birth.<br /><br />Again, I'm the worst about running around, losing focus and generally making Christmas anything but Jesus's birthday celebration. So let's all encourage one another to celebrate God's Son's birth and the coming of our salvation in the manger.<br /><br />Please pray that I do the same.<br /><br />God bless.BManhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17977809886457119201noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22740809.post-36516558657030702008-12-03T18:33:00.000-08:002008-12-03T18:34:43.175-08:00Booples! - iPod video downloadsNEW!

When you're at peace trusting God, resting in Him, waiting and walking, you will hear His voice.<br /><br />John 10:27 (NASB)<br />"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;"<br /><br />As I mentioned before, all steps need to be bathed in prayer. It's a vital part of it all and can be the the start to each part and all parts together.<br /><br />Much of the actions and benefits of my implementing the new plan aren't measurable. A few things I've done...<br /><br />- made my time w/ God a higher priority<br />- put the videos online for people to watch for free<br />- spend less time "running the business" (marketing, emailing, strategiaing, etc.)<br />- spend more time writing, animating, etc.<br /><br />Noticeable differences to me...<br /><br />- more peaceful<br />- enjoy the work more<br />- more productive<br />- more traffic and sales on the site<br />- more contact by others for partnerships and licensing opportunities<br />- more contentment in where things are and where they will go<br />- less worry/stress about what will happen and what I need to be doing<br />- more confidence that I'm "in His will" and being obedient to what I'm called to do<br />- more fun!<br /><br />These posts are not meant to be a complete and thorough investigation and study into these topics, but more of one perspective into what I'm thinking and feeling about these areas. I believe the 5 areas (Trust, Rest, Wait, Walk and Listen) build on one another, but that wasn't planned at all - that's just the way the 5 areas were revealed to me as I wrote a line in a letter.<br /><br />To boil it all down, it's all about your relationship with God. Make Him first and base all of your contentment on Him. He won't let you down. The creator of the universe is big enough to be the center of yours.<br /><br />Focus on Him and you'll find that you can be content by just your relationship w/ Him. The results of your efforts won't be important, but your obedience will be. You won't strive to just be doing things or trying to please Him b/c you'll realize you need to be obedient in what He's called you to. You'll thrive on your walk with Him; your time w/ Him. That spiritual food will call you back and be what satisfies you most. And He'll speak to you when you're ready for Him to use you.<br /><br />God bless you all!BManhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17977809886457119201noreply@blogger.com0
