A quick update for the past few months

If you don't want to read this whole thing, you don'thave to.  But don't forget about our website at www.steveandmegan.org!  We update our blog more often than we send out newsletters.  Also, Megan has a food blog set up at www.foodsweetfood.posterous.com.  The more people that visit her blog, the more food I get.  So please visit.

This School Year is quickly ending.  In two weeks Christian Heritage School will be out and two months after that School of the Bible students will be leaving on their five week foreign outreach.  

Megan has decided this will be her last year teaching the Reading Class (Kindergarten), so she has several options she is considering for what to do next year.  I'll continue teaching in School of the Bible as well as in the 3rd grade and possibly the 4th as well.  I just decided today that I really love teaching in the elementary and that I should continue doing just that.  I wrote differently in our newsletter we just sent out.  If you receive our physical newsletter too, there'll be one lie in it :)

Read a couple quotes from this years School of the Bible students on what they are discovering while studying in School of the Bible:

“A change of heart, based on truth. The Word of God is no longer something I read; it is something I dive into with the Holy Spirit so I can become the agent of change that God has called me to be – one foiunded on truth.“ – Mateo

“I’ve never wanted to help God more in advancing His kingdom here on earth than now.” – Chelsey

Here's an excerpt from Megan's update on her community outreach that she and Christian Heritage School students went on this spring.

My students were so excited to share cards and songs with the elderly residents. They talked to one man that had gone to the very same school when he was a child. The kids were so excited and asked him if he remembered the slide and the merry-go-round, and he did.

Faith, Hope, Love.  Megan has created a new line of jewelry for sale on our website.  The name of her line of jewelry is Faith, Hope, Love, inspired by 1 Corinthians 13:13.  

“So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love”

I got a new teaching gig for November 29th.  The only one outside of School of the Bible this year that I've done since the summer.  Let us hope things go better than they did last time.  This new opportunity doesn't involve a whole church service, but rather a 45 minute-ish discussion that goes by the name of Sunday school.  

We've been going to a new church here in Tyler and have plugged into a few areas.  One of which has been a Sunday school class called Merge, because it was a merge of the 20 something class and the 30 something class.  Last week I got a call from the normal teacher asking me if I would like to teach on the 29th.  At first I didn't want to because that's my first response to anything, let alone public speaking, but I know I need to take any teaching opportunity possible to grow in that area.  So I agreed to teach, which is only going to be leading discussion.

Faith is what I'll be talking about.  What is the difference between the blind faith that many attribute to Christians and the faith spoken of in the Bible?  I'm sure there is a major difference and we'll find out together.

Divine foreknowledge and conditional prophecy is my next teaching in School of the Bible.  That's a heavy topic and I should be studying it this week, but I've taken the 'vacation' approach instead.  

One praise report I have is that Thanksgiving is next week and I haven't been asked to be the token Indian in any play or school program, nor have I been approached to partake in a 'reconciliation' ceremony.  Amen.
