Children

 I didn't post Tuesday because I left for Knoxville at 4 am. Yikes! My niece has her house all torn up with floor renovations in preparation for me new little great-nephew sometime in December. Instead of spending Monday night with Allie and Easton, I drove up early Tuesday for elementary chapel at Temple Baptist Academy in Powell, TN. The 100+ elementary kidos are well-behaved. Kudos to the teachers and staff. Kids don't normally act good; they must be taught. Really. My lesson was on Peter and John and the lame man healed in Acts 3. I had a creation creature: the Emperor penguin. The memory verse was John 8:12 "...I am the light of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." We said the verse a couple of times, then I had the girls stand and say it. Then I had the boys stand and say it. Then I asked the students, "Do you think that the teachers should say the verse?" They're eyes lit up and they enthusiastically said "Yes!" The teachers were good sports, stood, and said the verse flawlessly. I am always thrilled when children memorize God's everlasting Word! It's good for them; it's good for the teachers; and it's good for you!
