You all did such a great job on our bible video project and were wonderful at making your commercials and getting into the newscast of the Fall of Jerusalem. The camera I have purchased for the project is newer than my computer so this may take a few weeks for me to edit and put together since I have to upgrade my computer. It will be great when it is all done!
