Storycorps stories

Have you seen any of these Storycorps stories? I saw one at Matt's blog, and the kids and I have been clicking from one to the next for the last half hour. They're audio recordings of anecdotes from around the country, set to animation.

Here's a great one called "Miss Devine..."

And another that makes me want to submit audio recordings of Aunt Sue's stories to Storycorps.

When you are in doubt, be still, and wait;
when doubt no longer exists for you,
then go forward with courage.
So long as mists envelop you, be still.
Be still until the sunlight pours through
and dispels the mists --
as it surely will.
Then act with courage.
- - - Ponca Chief White Eagle

Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.
- - - Psalm 34:14
