My 5 year old absolutely loved the videos. He saw the stage show, movies, bought the T-Shirts, etc. I hope the new owners don't change a thing.

However, is anyone else mystified by the fact that the CEO thought that because things were going well "God wanted us to expand". Don't you think that with all the problems in the world God would have other things to worry about.

I think it's a bit arrogant to think that "God" is telling you to expand your business. Did he have a direct line to God?

I think that the lesson here is that when it comes to business decisions look to your accountant and financial advisors before thinking God is telling you something. He isn't.

Why is it that we can so easily believe that God spoke to people in the bible, but that he is not interested in doing that for us? Jesus said, 'My sheep will know my voice.'

You are right about looking to your accountant and financial advisors. There is wisdom in seeking that kind of counsel. We often miss or miscontrue what God says to us, but that doesn't mean he is silent.

How is that arrogant? God knows the number of hairs on our heads - not just mine, but yours too. He cares about everything we do, and if we are willing, He will lead us.

I can't say whether or not the guy heard from God to 'expand,' but it's not beyond the pale of what God might communicate with us about. . .IF we are listening.
