In this 7 minute blog, Barry shares his experience when he encountered wild animals at a zoo and how God spoke to him about His desire to see His kids free. Below is the photo of the lion that triggered the download of revelation that he received.

Yesterday I was pleased to release our newest inspirational video entitled "My Dad Is The Best Dad In The Universe!". When children are little, they are happy to boast about their dads... how big they are... how strong they are... I remember my kids boasted about me that way when they were small. I absolutely loved their enthusiasm and confidence in their father. This is my best attempt to boast in the same way about my heavenly Dad.

Here's the story behind this video...

A couple of years ago, I sketched out a cartoon called "Who Is The Best Dad Ever?" that told the story of 5 kids having a conversation in front of their school on 'Bring Your Dad To School Day'. All of the other kids were walking into the front door with their dads while these children were talking about how they missed their fathers. Some didn't see their dads because of divorce, one because the father had passed away.

The star of this comic story is a little boy named Billy. He keeps on going on and on about how his dad is with him all the time. The rest of the kids get frustrated with Billy because they know that he lives in a foster home down the street and never knew his birth father. Billy goes on to share how he is talking about his heavenly Dad not his birth father.

On Father's Day this year, I felt inspired to write up my own "My Dad Is The Best Dad In The Universe" presentation and share it with my home church family. This 4 page disortation on the greatness of my heavenly Father was inspired by over 150 Bible passages that have been very special to me over the years.

The next week I shared this same presentation at a leaders' school that I was teaching. When the students all requests a recorded version of my presentation, I thought that it might be a good idea to accompany it with video so people could actually see the Bible passage references in real time during the narration.

So I recorded the narration, added some really cool nature video footage and one of my favorite audio soundtracks and produced a 12 minute video that describes my own personal description about my heavenly Dad. While it is a summation of many of my own feelings, hopefully it might paint a picture for you of the greatness of our heavenly Dad!

Over the past few months, we have heard feedback that some of our visitors have had some difficulty watching videos in their entirety using our own in-house Flash video player. Because of their file size (some of them are over 200 meg!) sometimes they have frozen in the middle of playing.

Since it is our intention that you are able to watch these videos can actually be watched without interruption, these technical difficulties have proved a little frustrating to us. So we went on a little journey to find a new video player that will hopefully do the job!

We are pleased to report that we think we have found the right solution! Starting this week, we are beginning the process of converting most of our video files over to the hosting service created by Vimeo.com We have already converted all of the videos in our "Inspirational Videos" category and we will start the conversion in our "Teaching Videos" category starting next week.

For all of those who have experience some technical difficulties in the past few months... a big thank you for your patience and understanding while we get some of these bugs worked out! Within a couple of weeks, we should have all of the necessary videos converted to make your viewing experience the best it can be!

Sincerely,
Barry Adams
