Today’s questions comes from a young lady interested in becoming a costumer for television and movies. She wants to know where to start.

There are numerous schools where you can learn about becoming a costumer, but one great way is to get an entry level job at a wardrobe company. There you will really learn your craft and meet those costume designers on television shows and movies who could be your next employer.

I heard this poem during a radio sermon by Dr. David Jeremiah. I thought it really applied to what we’re all called to do as we work in our own mission fields whatever those may be.

“WHICH ARE YOU?”
Anonymous

I watched them tear a building down;
A gang of men in a busy town.
With a mighty heave and a lusty yell,
They swung a boom and a side wall fell.

I said to the foreman, “Are these men skilled
As the men you’d hire if you had to build?”
He gave me a laugh and said, “No indeed!
Just a common laborer is all I need.
And I can wreck in a day or two
What it took the builder a year to do.”

And I thought to myself as I went my way,
“Just which of these roles have I tried to play?
Am I a builder who works with care
Measuring life by the rule and square,
Or am I a wrecker as I walk the town
Content with the labor of tearing down?”

May we all strive to be builders!

We’re off and running again! Semester #2 began last Wednesday, October 7th with 33 inmate/students. About a third of the class are Veterans. This class is a little quieter than the last one, but I think that may be just first day jitters. We’re all looking foward to what God will reveal through this bunch a men in prison blues.

Our first semester is over… We had a terrific graduation! Several of our graduates received generous scholarships from Moviola, Vocal Image and Mole Richardson Lighting.

Lives where changed, bringing some inmates to tears as they described what they’ve learned in this last 12 weeks.

The band was excellent as well. Although it was over 100 degrees, no one seemed to care. It was a great day! We can’t wait to start the next semester!
