I attended a 3 week training course called "Gateway" at Mercy Ships. Our last day we had to present a project sharing some things that jumped out at us. During this training a video by Rob Bell (Dust - a part of the Nooma series of teachings) was shown to us. I figured I'd make a copy/parody of the video to share a few things that popped out to me. Couple things to know:
1) 22 out of 24 participants were heading to Africa to serve as missionaries... I was one of the two staying in the States.
2) They fed us snacks (very yummy snacks) about every two hours... sigh... I miss that.
If you haven't seen the Dust nooma video by Rob Bell the "look" won't mean as much and some of the subtle jokes you wouldn't get unless you were part of the Gateway.... but it should still be worth a view. Our family had fun making it :)
This was awesome Keith - can't wait to start your new philosophy in my home as well. Let me know when the book tour begins - I'll definitely watch Oprah if you are on it.

It was even funnier the 2nd time, Keith. What a great project - it immortalizes our time at Gateway!!!

Holding back my tears, I realized that my hearts desire is to assume this same philosophy in my own home. I've searched for that little extra something that will help me to be a better father and train up my children in the way they should go... I now know, they should go take care of the chores that God has not given me the desire to do. Thank you so much! This was definitely the "therapy" that I needed. God be with you my wise friend!
