Do You have a Situation that Needs Imagination?

Dear Friends,

I would like to introduce you (if you have not previously met) to Rich, Scott, Dave, and Smitty -- also known as the Imagination Movers.

Now, if Jason reads this, he is going to say, "I can't believe it (or maybe, I knew it! ) She is blogging about the Imagination Movers! She is obsessed!"

Well, maybe just a little bit. But I have good reason. Let me give you a few:

1. This is THE best kids show out there, if we're talking about a show that is also parent-friendly. The Imagination Movers go around solving (mostly humorous) problems. They do this through an amusing series of trial and error. And they don't quit until the problem is solved. Don't we all want our children to come up with creative ways to solve problems, and to never give up?

2. They SING! And not "Mary Had a Little Lamb" kind of songs. These four guys actually write all the songs for the show themselves. They groove. I dance to them. They are fun. And they are kid-relevant. If you want to hear for yourself (and you do) click here. My favorite is "Clean My Room," but "Farm," and "Shakable You" are also quite enjoyable. Seriously, go watch one of those last two.

3. "Mover Rich" has five children. I just love that.

4. I love their story. These guys are four friends from New Orleans who all sat down in "Mover Scott's"

living room one evening and decided that they wanted to make a great children's show, with music that they would enjoy themselves. They got a show together, learned what was the best way to get and keep a child's attention, explored the best ways to make themselves known, and started touring. Somewhere in the middle of this, Hurricane Katrina hit, and three of them lost their homes. The fourth was pretty much unreachable for two weeks because he was on duty as a fireman.

5. This show inspires me. It's so fun; it's exactly the kind of things kids eat up and ask for seconds. And when I watch it, I remember that I want to do something fun for kids, that they love, that is entertaining and teaches them more about God in a way they understand. And I think I can do it.

6."Mover Scott" says one of his main reasons for doing the show is because he wanted to see male role models for kids on television. They wanted it so much that they decided to go do something about it themselves. I love that. And I'm so glad they did.
