This week's video comes from VBS this past week. I taught about Elisha where an army of fire surrounded and protected God's people from the Syrians. Cue my idea to re-write the words of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire."  It's in middle of the video here.  RING OF FIRE Fear is awful thing, You can be scared of most anything. Fear is a big fat liar, Throw that fear in a ring of fire. Throw your fears in a burnin’ ring of fire. Send them down, down, down, As your prayers go higher. Let them burn, burn, burn, In the ring of fire, in the ring of fire. Throw your fears in a burnin’ ring of fire. Send them down, down, down, As your prayers go higher. Let them burn, burn, burn, In the ring of fire, in the ring of fire. Elisha’s servant was really scared, But he served a God who really cared.

And I kept telling them they needed to sing with accents and twangs, but... And no, the headset was not working as a microphone or way to hear the music.

I think I have mentioned before that sometimes are Bible Class material could use some re-writes. By that I mean in the references it makes to every day life. Like tape recorders vs. MP3 players. Things like that. We'll here was a recommended fun activity for today. Admittedly, I'm not a big Simon and Garfunkel fan. I also see that they spelled Garfunkel incorrectly. I think I could come closer to being able to sing "Jesus Loves Me" to "Mrs. Robsinson." That's quite likely because the words to that song include "Jesus Loves You More than You Will Know." I had to pull it up on YouTube to even figure out what "Sounds of Silence" sounded like. If I listened to it enough times, I think I can tell that it would fit. But, I don't know the song. In college, we did do "Amazing Grace" to the Eagle's "Peaceful Easy Feeling." It did make for an interesting conversation late last night on Facebook when I p...
