After Tuesday’s lesson, I was ready for a break. I tried to find a substitute for my class, but by the time it was 4:00 in the afternoon I knew it just wasn’t going to happen. My lesson topic was…
Terrible Day
I felt terrible after this lesson today. I can honestly say that this is the first time I was glad to see the kids go. It really wasn’t a bad lesson, but I just could not get the kids to…
Even though your sins be as red as the filling in this jelly donut….
Yesterday I backtracked and did 2 Samuel 7 and 9. I had accidentally swapped Bathsheba/David/Uriah thing with today’s reading when I spoke with the class about the reading, and so I went back to do this section of scripture. It…
David and Bathsheba

A Home Study Seminary Teacher?
This week is a weird one. The kids are off Wednesday and Thursday for exams. The other teacher is having a surgical procedure this week, too, and so his class isn’t meeting Friday, which means mine isn’t either. Next Monday…
The Week in Review
This was an easy week of lessons. I think I mentioned earlier that I am treating this section in Judges and Ruth like a biographical examination of some of the heroes (and losers) found in these passages of scripture. I…
