Marking Time

This is the way the world ends, this is the way the work ends, this is the way to weekends… not with a bang but a whimper.

(apologies to T.S. Eliot)

Warning: Shameless self-promotion ahead.

 I occasionally teach a series of classes for adults called “Faith on Film” and would gladly teach the class for your conference, school or church group for a reasonable fee.

— Email me at mnielsen34@gmail.com if you want to sponsor a single or multi-session *Faith on Film* course. I like discussing God, tv and the movies, and introducing others to new material, in a safe, nondenominational way. I have worked in the film industry and/or education for over twenty years. I’ve done portions of this course for Catholics, mainline Protestants, conservative evangelicals, Mennonites, secular students. You name the group or age range, I can teach ‘em — and *without* ticking them off. I can even work with home-schoolers, or combine my juggling, puppetry and clowing skills for your kid’s birthday party. Pass the word…
