Merry Christmas

Christmas Wrapping 4 Here’s hoping that you have a very veggie Christmas from all of us here at VeggieTales Review– Peter Plum, Penny Peach, and our all our little Pickles– wish that your family will have a great time together sharing love, laughter, presents, food, VeggieTales and that you’ll remember the real reason that we celebrate today– the gift given by God to us in the birth of His Son.

Merry Christmas!

What I Learned from Auto-tainment

This is one weird VeggieTales episode.  VeggieTales – The Wonderful World of Auto-tainment was made during the crisis that Big Idea was facing right around the time that Jonah was being produced.  As such, a lot of clips that were lying around got thrown together into a video that doesn’t have a countertop, a verse, or any of the standard trappings.

It’s an amusing story, and one of the things that I got out of it was that there are times when you may do something at one point in time that you might need later on.  One example of this is the MInTheGap Fiction blog– where the writer of this blog (my alter ego) actually is recycling content that he wrote as a high school teenager!

So, make sure that you do your very best work at all times because you may not know when you have to use it!

An Apple a Day…

It used to be that you could count on an apple a day to keep the doctor away but now, with the ever increasing cost of health care you have to know your options.

Most companies have a health benefits plan that you have to be a part of, but if you’re a small business person, or an entrepreneur, you may have found that it’s difficult to find someone that will cover you.

That’s where companies like USA-HealthInsurance.com can help.  Say you were looking for affordable health insurance in Florida.  This site can help you find quotes on individual & small business health & dental insurance plans. Blue Cross Blue Shield, United, Kaiser & Aetna agents for all states. COBRA replacement & individual health insurance policies.  Best of all, these quotes are free!

So, if you need help finding a plan, be sure to do your homework, get multiple quotes, and know how much coverage you need.  Take it from me, Peter Plum.

Oh, and keep eating that apple a day– just don’t tell Adam Apple!

What I Learned from Duke and the Pie War

Duke and the Pie war is the second story on the VeggieTales – Duke and the Great Pie War DVD.  This is a retelling of the story of Ruth and Boaz in the genre of King George and the Ducky.

One of the interesting things in this DVD is what Larry must go through because he likes a Rhubarbarian.  This is something that I hadn’t thought of before– a different angle to the story.

You see, Boaz was a Jew, as was Naomi.  But Ruth was a Moabitess.  And yet Boaz still felt that he should play the part of the kinsman redeemer for Ruth.  That’s an amazing thing.  Boaz would be forever linked with a woman that had good virtues but was “one of the enemy.”

When you think about what Christ did for us, he took us from being an outsider to being part of His family.  He accepted us into being one of him.  It’s actually pretty amazing, and a terrific picture!
