John, Peter, Judas and Thomas ponder why they have been called back to school.  Surely it must be to study under a new teacher, as they are all convinced they've learned all they can from Jesus. But when Jesus comes walking through the classroom door, announcing he will once again be their teacher, the disciples are confused. What else can Jesus possibly have to teach them?  In trying to decipher what it could possibly be, the disciples begin to turn accusing eyes on each other, fighting, teasing and bickering, proving the point of why they are once again back in school.

Fran has vowed never to let her children participate in Halloween but this year a friend of hers is sharing some unusual views about the "evil" holiday.  Barb and her family have been trying to change the "spirit" of Halloween in her neighborhood for the last few years, and it seems to be catching on.  Instead of witches and goblins, creepy and scary, Barb and her family have opted to be the "friendliest house in town."  Not only that, they've begun to silently witness for God by showing traits of friendship, service and kindness to all those who come to their door. They provide hot chocolate on chilly evenings, park benches for parents to sit on and much more.  Now, the whole neighborhood is catching this new Halloween fever!  Can it really be true that God can even use something like Halloween to reach His people?  Barb seems to think so, because as the old saying goes, "the proof is in the pudding."

When economic times get tough and putting food on the table becomes even harder, a wise mother gets an idea: she tells each of her children to plant seeds in a garden and nurture it and watch it grow.  But, she warns: they will reap whatever they sow.

Liza is writing a story of what it would have been like to have Christmas on the ark.  Noah and Mrs. Noah couldn't be more thrilled that the holy day has finally arrived but their sons and their wives, aren't in the Christmas spirit. All they can think about is the gloom the rain brings, along with frizzy hair, and the stench of the animals or the itchiness of the hay.  Even their Christmas carols are things like "Rain, rain go away" and "Raindrops keep falling on my head."  The whining and complaining continues until Noah and Mrs. Noah have had enough.  They set the record straight about the real meaning of Christmas, and the ability to be thankful no matter what situation you find yourself in.  By reminding the family that Jesus was born in a stable surrounded by animals, and Joseph and Mary didn't seem to complain about the stench or the itchy hay, the family begins to realize they truly do have much to be thankful for and that getting into the Christmas spirit, even on an ark, isn't as hard as they originally thought.
