Men in the Word of God, every day.
What I do is make things more complicated than they need to be. I analyze, list, ponder, lose sleep over, and plan stuff. I'm detailed. Really a lot. And I can't not be. My brain was made that way. But one thing I completely LOVE about God is that He can be infinitely detail-oriented (knowing the number of hairs on my head, hearing my every prayer, and bottling my every tear), and at the same time, also amazingly simple. It's a paradox my small brain just doesn't understand. He knew we would sometimes need simple. When I feel overwhelmed by my responsibilities as a mother, a wife, and a Christian woman, I recite Micah 6:8 in my head. It's like three bullet points of uncomplicated. He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. And perfectly timed, since God knew I was feeling a tad overwhelmed by my thoughts I shared about in my last post, and the problem of hunger in the world, I saw this today. My friend Julie made this printable (and a whole lot of others) based on Micah 6:8. I love it when He knows what I need. She has a big heart, so she opened a little shop to help provide meals for the hungry in Sudan. Purchasing just one of her printables for $5 provides 85 meals in Sudan. An 8, then a 5. Wow. I can't even get out of Chick-Fil-A for $5. This is the cute print I bought. Now there's an uncomplicated way to help someone in need. And in a world of complicated, today I'm thankful for simple. Simple truth. A simple way to show mercy. And a God who knows when we need it all boiled down. {hope for Sudan} {for a beautiful post by Ann Voskamp on the subject of poverty, one that she posted on the same day I wrote about it, and where she said she felt sick too, one that made me cry, click here.}

Book Synopsis The current social and political climate makes it easy to benefit from religious misunderstanding. Political and religious leaders create fear of the religious other in order to drum up support for themselves. But the best way to combat deliberate misrepresentation is to provide accurate, timely information about the three great monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Originally published in 2007, What Do Our Neighbors Believe? Second Edition organizes the three belief systems, asking the same questions of each: When and where did each originate? What are the sacred writings? What kind of leaders does each have? What are their most essential beliefs? New sections explore current ethical questions and issues, including the deliberate use of misinformation about Islam to bolster power and generate fear and the recent rise in anti-Semitic hate crimes. By introducing the common aspects of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the authors make understanding their genuine differences and their many similarities much more possible. Review Quotes "This book sets the new standard for adult forums and Sunday school classes in congregations that seek greater understanding of our neighbors." --Presbyterian Outlook-- "Presbyterian Outlook"

He's alive! So now what?? Once the eggs have been found, chocolate consumed, and bonnets put away, it may seem that Easter loses its thrill. But the empty tomb is only the beginning of the story, and there are important lessons to be gained from events immediately after the resurrection as well as further down the road. This lesson focuses on Christ's appearances after resurrection and how disciples perceived Him. Emphasis is on trusting, as well as how we are encouraged to spread the Good News with others.

Hi Godly Play Teachers! Welcome to Knowing Jesus in a New Way 3: Known in Doubt, our lesson for May 11. Are you as captured as I am by the expression of Thomas on the story tile for this week? He looks so worn and ashamed of his doubt, wanting to believe, yet in such need of seeing the wounds for himself. I love the way the story script tells the story from Luke 24:36-43 and John 20:19-29. It describes the mood of the group of disciples gathered-with the doors shut, afraid for their lives. And then suddenly from within the group someone says, "Peace be with you," and they realize it is Jesus. They think he's a ghost but then he eats a piece of fish. He wishes them peace again and he's gone. Thomas comes to the group and hears the story of what happened but can't believe. I like that the script does not find fault with this. "And why wouldn't he doubt? Their minds were stretching, stretching to be big enough to know Jesus in this new way." Then eight days later the disciples are again in a locked room and Jesus appears, this time with Thomas present. Thomas doesn't have to ask. Jesus approaches him and shows him the scars, inviting him, "Touch me." Of course he falls on his knees. When Jesus says, "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe," goosebumps rise on my arm. Yours too? I bet children will identify with Thomas, particularly the older ones. They've been told so many things and have been disappointed to find they were duped. Proof makes belief so much easier. Older children might like to talk about belief and doubt. We shouldn't be afraid to share our own experiences and hear theirs. For younger children, this is a great story to have in their back pocket, so that when times of doubt and questions do arise when they're older, they remember one who loved Jesus and whom Jesus loved who experienced the same feelings. So, how do we help the children process the story? If you are in a classroom where all the materials are near available to the children (if you aren't, I'd love to help change that--there's money for shelves for your circle) I hope you'll consider going along with the Godly Play script and letting the children gather items that help tell the story. It will be interesting to see the connections they make. Here are our wondering questions for the lesson: 1. I wonder what is your favorite part of the story. 2. I wonder what the disciples thought when Jesus appeared to them in the locked room. 3. I wonder why Thomas needed to touch Jesus' wounds. 4. I wonder what Thomas thought when Jesus appeared and came up to Thomas and said, "Touch me." 5. I wonder if you've ever had doubts about anything. I wonder how that feels. 6. I wonder what we can do when we have doubts about believing. Some Thoughts on Our Gift to God Time: How can we help the children to re-live this story? Here are a few ideas: 1. Retelling the story through art or drama a) Kids could act out the story in your classroom. Make it dramatic. Shut the doors. Do the acting out in candlelight. Each child could play a part. The camera in the drawer in the hallway can videotape, if you want to do that. b) Kids could draw the scenes of the story. The first appearance of Jesus. His eating of a piece of fish. Thomas's skepticism of the story. Then Jesus' appearance to Thomas and his touching Jesus. This could be done with markers or paint or three dimensionally with clay. It could be a class project on a mural or done individually. c) There is also a craft ideas for responding to this story with art here . 2. Digging into the theme of the story of believing without seeing. a) Children could make a banner for the classroom or a bulletin board that says, "Blessed are those that do not see, but still believe. John 20:29"-or whatever verse or message they pick that they feel tells the story. What illustrations would they want to decorate it with? I'm sure they'd have ideas. b) Kids could make an illustrated list of ways to handle their doubt. What do they do when they doubt? Read the Bible? Talk to their parents? Talk with their teachers? Pray? Think hard about it? Or they could illustrate the statement: I can ask God for help with my doubt. c)Children could discuss what faith really is and illustrate "What faith in Jesus means to me." or make an "I Believe" door hanger or sign and decorate it however they like-with stickers or sequins or markers. We have some foam stickers in the game room on the craft table if you want to use them. Enjoy! And thank you!
