    Students do you remember that rhyme: “1,2 skip a few?” I promise that it’s not what’s happening with our 40 days together.

  • Temptation

    Luke 4:1-13 Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert and was tempted Happy Sunday students! Sundays are always busy for me. I go to church early and teach the high school religion class and then attend church. After that we always share a meal together with family. By the time I get home…

  • What a sinner?

    Luke 5:27-32 I did not come to call the righteous to repentance but sinners. Students we have made it four days! Today reading this verse I always chuckle. We are so like the Pharisees. We want to point out all the dusty old sinners. Or say things like, “Why are you hanging out with those…
