I"m always blown away (even after 28 years) at the beginning of the school year by the level of multi-tasking that is demanded to teach, discipline, inspire, meet the standards, take attendance, meet the legal requirements of ESE, ESOL, and 504 Plan students as well as make Algebra "fun." Then I remember a little "time management" tool a favorite Principal of mind was fond of reciting: "The instructional program comes first." Everything else I mentioned is important but without the planning and delivery of instruction, I'm just a "well-paid" baby sitter. I wonder if that advice could work for the church? Amen to you, Judy, and Steve.

Not my favorite read, but I do appreciate what the author says about those early churches. They weren't communes, with everybody pooling their resources and sharing alike. But those who had were expected to share with those who didn't. Even when sharing would really hurt. If we act as church, we are guaranteed that we'll weather this storm.

That would send chills down my back to see something that ancient. The closest I've seen is an old woman at Long Beach by the name ..... never mind! Randy: That just goes to show just how far behind the French we happen to be in Biblical research! I’m envious! That would send chills down my back to see something that ancient.

I share in your delight and wonder. I can't help but wonder, however, if I've lost track of a Gospel. I looked in a couple of my Bibles and could not locate the Gospel of Jean. I even looked in my French Bible to no avail. :-) What a fantastic experience. I share in your delight and wonder.
