Uncle Charlie's Children's Bible Hour Tour

Today, 40 people in our homeschool group went to tour the radio station for Uncle Charlie's Children's Bible Hour! Uncle Charlie took us around the station, and even let a few children read and be taped. He also had a time to share some "Tricks that Teach," as he put it. He is a ventriloquist and all the kids laughed and laughted as he spoke with his friend, "Samuel." Then he called little old ME up to the stage to do a trick. He was trying to give me instuctions on how to tie a knot, but every time, he could and I couldn't. Finally, he asked me to put my rope in his hands, and it worked for him. The lesson is to leave things in God's hands, especially when they don't work out for us. As we were leaving, he gave each child a packet with the April/May issue of "Keys for Kids." After lunch, I got a call from Uncle Charlie, and he wants Owen to work on a few lines. Then if he can feel comfortable, he wants Owen to actually be on tape for a program. How cool is that????
