I’m subscribed to Clients From Hell. Here’s a great post from yesterday:

Client: Do you animate bible stories?

Me: We don’t currently, but we can animate anything you like. What do you have in mind?

Client: Well how much is it to animate the bible?

Me: Well it depends on what stories from the bible you want. The duration of the animation, how many characters, sets etc. Do you have a script?

Client: Well I don’t want to elaborate on the bible, I just want to animate it for the kids.

Me: Right, okay, but in order to give you a budget I need to start somewhere so I can figure out roughly how many characters, props and such.

Client: How much time will it take for creation?

Me: The creation of the assets? Characters, sets etc?

Client: No, Creation, in the book of Genesis.

Me: A lot more then 7 days.

A Grim Tale (Ananias and Sapphira)

This week’s First Reading describes the communal life in the Early Church:

The community of believers was of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they had everything in common. With great power the apostles bore witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great favor was accorded them all. There was no needy person among them, for those who owned property or houses would sell them, bring the proceeds of the sale, and put them at the feet of the apostles, and they were distributed to each according to need. – Acts 4:32-35

Immediately after this extract we read in Acts of the Apostles the contrasting story of Ananias and Sapphira. I posted a link to this video in my Lectionary Notes, but I thought I’d post it again just in case people didn’t see it:
