Larry: Do what? Kirt: Your garden! It's so lush and beautiful. Larry: Well, just a little time and energy. Kirt: Hey, I work as hard as you do, yet your garden is flourishing, and all I get is weeds. What makes yours different? Larry: I don't know. What kind of seeds are you using? Kirt: Seeds? Announcer: Is there something missing in your life? Are you just going through the motions? Jesus can give your life lasting meaning and purpose, if you give him the chance. 4 Dr. Shami - Read My Book Seeker: Dr. Shami, I have some questions for you.

It takes years to understand the Bible. Here read my book. [thud] Seeker: Programming your VCR? Shami: No the other side. Seeker: Knowing God the Shaami Way.

Shami: You think I'm God? Of course not! Seeker: Well Jesus did. He performed incredible miracles that no one in history has ever done--we have reason to trust him. Shami: I knew it, I knew this would happen, already you're confused. Seeker: I don't feel confused. Shami: Of course not, you haven't read my book yet. 5 I Want to Serve God Person: Hi, I'm looking to serve God. Worker: Wonderful, we could use help in the nursery.
