IT'S URGENT!
How "urgent" are the urgent things in your life? I'm slowly learning that much of what I consider urgent, isn't truly urgent at all. It usually has more to do with my URGEs than being genuinely urgent. My urge to produce, my urge to succeed, my urge to accomplish, my urge to create security, my urge to finish things, my urge to start things, my urge to get on to the next thing.
The key is not to get them all done, it is to LIVE LIFE IN THE MIDST OF THEM. To make sure I truly live when and where I am, instead of living in an imaginary future when I am out from under pending projects, since that time will most likely never exist.

MOVIE REVIEW: BEDTIME STORIES
"This is a Disney movie, but it is an Adam Sandler movie," notes Kidology CP Team member Nancy Keith in her review of Bedtime Stories. "Marry the two and you get a funny, yet slightly crude movie that teaches more bad lessons than good... but in a good-natured way."
"As CP's we are on a different plane. We are looking for ways to uplift and teach. Spiritually, we are on a very different page. While I enjoyed this movie and laughed along with it, part of me kept saying, 'Why did you have to...?'"
"This is not a movie for the younger set. For the older set, have fun, but get ready to undo all the don'ts that you see after the movie."
As with all Kidology movie reviews, we provide children's ministry-oriented teaching tools such as an overview, areas of concern, teachable themes with scripture, and discussion questions.

SPEAKING THE LANGUAGE OF KIDS
Episode 9 of Kidology's Children's Ministry Podcast is available for download. In this free podcast, Karl begins a 3-part series on how to be a Children's Ministry Missionary - reaching kids from within their culture.
This episode focuses on speaking the language of kids and provides some perhaps unexpected insights into how to use humor in a way that bonds with children, and it has nothing to do with telling jokes. Brought to you by our friends at God Rocks.
