… because I spent four hours in a room with an 80 year-old Sunday School teacher.  Well, okay, she's a puppet.  Named Sunday School Lady.  I'm filming scenes for the third "What's in the Bible?"

This morning in my devotions I was rereading the notes I had taken from Henry Blackaby's study on the book of Samuel, and I came across this quote from Mr. Blackaby: "To tell the people that He is with us in all of His power when there is no evidence of it in our lives [...]
