More than 250 moms, dads, kids, friends and neighbors attended last Friday night’s preview of the new VeggieTales movie, Robin Good and His Band of Not-So-Merry Men. It was “bring your own blanket” as families filled Rooms 100, 102 and 118, eating popcorn and enjoying the entertaining flick together. While it was great fun, a powerful message was communi-cated: there is no hurt that God cannot heal.

She2I slept but my heart was awake. Listen! My beloved is knocking: “Open to me, my sister, my darling, my dove, my flawless one. My head is drenched with dew, my hair with the dampness of the night.” 3I have taken off my robe— must I put it on again? I have washed my feet— must I soil them again? 4My beloved thrust his hand through the latch-opening; my heart began to pound for him. 5I arose to open for my beloved, and my hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with flowing myrrh, on the handles of the bolt.
6 I opened for my beloved, but my beloved had left; he was gone. My heart sank at his departure. I looked for him but did not find him. I called him but he did not answer. 7The watchmen found me as they made their rounds in the city. They beat me, they bruised me; they took away my cloak, those watchmen of the walls! 8Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you— if you find my beloved, what will you tell him? Tell him I am faint with love.
Friends9How is your beloved better than others, most beautiful of women? How is your beloved better than others, that you so charge us?
