April is coming to a close...

Wow!  Almost the end of April.  The girls and I are working hard to finish up our school year this week. The last day of videos, homework and final quizzes and tests.  It's always exciting to wrap it up - all the hard work for another year.  Trudging through and looking forward to wrapping it up soon - hopefully all by the end of next week.

The weather has been up and down.  It was cool and we had some rain this weekend - which was needed.  This week has been cool and overcast so far warming up to almost 80 and then cooling off some.  I need to get out this weekend and do some weeding again.  Boy, do they pop up quickly!

The girls have been attending youth events at church.  

Sunday evening @ 6:30pm - High School youth group at Grace  

Monday evening @ 7pm - High School youth group at Northwest

Tuesday evening @ 5:30pm - Baseball game - my nephew, Jack

Wednesday evening @ 4pm - Middle School Bible study @ Grace

@ 6:30pm - Quest kids at Northwest

Thursday evening @ 4pm - High School Bible study @ Grace

@ 6:30pm - Awana and Youth Group @ Timberline

@ 6:30pm - Gather service @ Grace (I attend this service)

I am glad for the many opportunities they have to learn and connect. 

I had my SUV fixed Monday.  More car repairs but the repair shop is very reasonable and I like them very much.

Well, on to the day and finishing up this week and month.  Have a great Thursday!

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...

Ten Tips for Sunday School Teachers

Ideas for Sunday School Teachers: 1.  Write a note to each student and mail it to their home. 2.  Visit the child in his home and bring a small treat. 3.  Make a special treat once a month for your students on Sunday. 4.  Have a Sunday School class activity on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. 5.  Pray for your students. 6.  Have a monthly or quarterly contest for your students.  Include bringing their Bible, saying memory verses, attendance, etc.  Award small prizes. 7.  Have a special craft once a month. 8.  Rev up your teaching time!  Use props such as costumes, pictures, videos.  Make your lesson time come alive.  Teach your lesson 2-3 times during the week out loud – you will be amazed at how you will be able to teach it to your students – not just following the words in the book. 9.  After the lesson, be creative!  Students should not just be sitting and waiting for Sunday School hour ...
