Medieval Times

Last night the hubby and I took a date to Medieval Times. It is a dinner theater focused around the medieval them. We sat in the front row and were able to see a fest for the eyes of horsemanship and jousting. We had a great time. I wish we would have brought the children as they would have loved the show. However, they would have been unhappy with the meal. You ate it all with you hands. Drank your soup from a bowl, ate a half a chicken by pulling it apart, and with your fingers grabbed the ribs. My hands were a mess. But it was fun.

The Hiding Place

I am not a book reader. I do enjoy them but I am a slow reader so I would much rather just watch them on TV. I love magazines but are short and easy to find time to read. A few weeks ago I was at the church library. A wonderful place I love to go and am so grateful we have. I went there to look and see what was new. Up on my favorite shelf, the audio shelf, I saw a shinny red DVD looking box. I grabbed it and it was not a DVD but a book on CD. I was excited with these long drives I make every day this would entertain me, and I did not have to read it. It was called the hiding place and looked like a mystery, so I thought. The next day i put it in my car and started listening. It was a biography about a family in Holland during the Holocaust.

This intense story is a superbly produced drama about the lives, sufferings, and triumphant joys of the ten Boom family. Imprisoned in Nazi Germany's Ravensbrook concentration camp for helping to save the lives of Jews by harboring them in their Holland home, Corrie ten Boom and her sister, Betsie, suffer inhuman treatment at the hands of Nazi prison guards. The love between the two sisters and toward their God deepens as their trials intensify.

An old watchmaker in Holland. His two spinster daughters, Corrie and Betsie. Simple, ordinary people. Yet these three unlikely heroes became the center of a major underground operation. Their operation: to hide Jewish refugees from the occupying Germans.
These kindly, law-abiding people broke every rule in the book to save the lives of the men, women and children being hunted by the Nazis. They built a secret chamber in their home, smuggled in food and supplies, procured stolen ration cards. Yet even when they were betrayed and sent away to the dreaded Ravensbruck concentration camp, they managed to create another Hiding Place for those around them...
Recorded in London, England, and also in Holland – at the actual house in Haarlem where the ten Boom family sheltered Jewish refugees – The Hiding Place is a Radio Theatre production unlike any other. The all-star cast includes Wendy Craig (Radio Theatre’s The Chronicles of Narnia) and Isla Blair (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade), and features a stirring original score by Jared DePasquale.
The Hiding Place is an unforgettable true story that shows the cost of standing for justice and humanity in the face of evil.

I loved it I was so excited to listen to it every day. I can only hope to one day have even half the faith of these people. I so strongly recommend it to every one. The version I listened to was great it was like being at the theater.

Here are some links:
