In each of our stories, we try to teach a little lesson or paint a little moral -- things like Mother taught: "Walk softly and carry a big stick"; "Strike first, ask questions after" -- that sort of thing.
|
Wheel of Morality, turn turn turn! |

The promise of mystery, adventure, hidden clues, ancient set pieces, red herrings, diabolical double crosses and a thrilling climax that ultimately bashes us all over the head with a lesson about the importance of non-material possessions.
|
When all the world would keep a matter hid, |

|
"And so what we have learned applies to our life today, and God has a lot to say, in his book! You see, we know that God's word is for everyone, and now that our song is done, we'll take a look!"
