Davey And Goliath

I remember as a young child watching some reruns of Davey And Goliath. I was raised in a christian home so, it was one of the few things I was able to watch on television.

Stop motion animation still intrigues me to this day and I am amazed knowing how much work is put into it. Pairing that with values based teaching, and it's been a favorite for many years.

Something I wasn't aware of is that the show was produced by Art Clokely, who also produced Gumby series. If you want your children to see what the fuss was about when you were a kid, go check out their DVD's available. It just might bring back some serious memories for you.

Freaky Friday-Survival Story

I'm posting this because I've often wondered if shows like Man Vs. Wild and Survivor would help people in the midst of their own attempt of survival. Recently a young boy did just that. He was lost in Utah's Ashley National Forest after being separated from his family. The boy, Grayson Wynne, says he was helped through his ordeal by himself with the help of the show Man Vs. Wild.

Grayson says he tore up pieces of his raincoat and tying them to trees. He said he tore so many pieces he couldn't count. He left himself a way to find his way back and for people to find him. He followed the creek, left a granola bar wrapper, and a backpack as well for clues.

Two people on horseback found him in a field while he was trying to wave down a helicopter.

Thank goodness for him being returned safely, and educational television!
