Sprung?

So Spring is officially here...yeah...awesome. Seriously though, it looks great...from inside my car. Then the deceptively freezie wind coupled with the allergy spawn smashed my head with a hammer.

Most Important Lesson

As I read over the lesson for this week, I realized it wasn't a part of the story that offered much room for humor. Today we talked about The Last Supper and some of the last instructions Jesus had for his disciples and ultimately for us.

This was an important lesson. This is the first step at laying the foundation of what Jesus did for us and why. Most of the words are provided for us, but there is always a struggle on how to present the truth and beauty of God's plan for salvation without losing the attention of all those little minds.

Over the next few weeks we will continue the story up through Easter. I have a lot of important lessons ahead. I couldn't help but ponder which one would be the most important. What part of the story will strike the hearts and minds of 2nd and 3rd grade boys and girls?

I hadn't thought about it long before I realized my most important lesson was. It wouldn't come in the next few weeks. It wouldn't even happen on the stage in those 20 minutes a week I am privileged enough to share God's story.

My most important lesson I teach is the way I act when I step off the stage. It comes with every action I make and how I live when I am not thinking about who is watching. My most important lesson I will teach on how to live is found in the way that I live my own life.

The most important lesson we all teach is how we live...every moment of our lives.

No pressure.
