MASHALIM / Short Stories

MASHALIM / Short Stories

Mashalim is the Hebrew term for "parables" or "allegories" or something like that.


For years I ended each week's series on the radio with a "weekend wrap-up edition" of the theme we'd been wrestling with by means of an original story, a "might-have-been"  imagining to cement the topic.  


In this venue I offer you a number of those original stories.  I hope they speak to you!

MASHALIM / Short Stories

Through the career I've been honored to lead kidlets in singing and to create new songs for them, hopefully fun and hopefully meaningful.  Once upon a time this became the "Kingdom Kind'a Kids" project where about 20 of the songs went to video and CD.


This is only a small sample of the repertoire through the years but it's the best way I have to give some of these to you.

A main reader with King James front and center and other participants in an interspersed "reader's theater" style.  


It's respectful.  It's effective!

Sticky Problems...

These are small group triggers that I've used very successfully through the years and you're invited to have them for your needs.


I'll give you the scenarios and some suggestions for using them effectively from what I've discovered through the years.

Values challenges for groups...

I love this stuff!

Yes, you can use all of this... Seriously!

Sticky Problems...

Randomly I'll suggest a book, a resource, an author... something or someone that has stretched me, intrigued me, contributed to me and you may want to give them/it a shot too.  


(Visit often as my suggestions will change.)
