Today I am on the beautiful campus of SVU in Buena Vista, Virginia, for their 17th annual education week conference. We are excited to hear Julie B Beck and Marlin K Jensen speak. Find out about the conference at…
Last Day of Class
Today was our final day of class. Students cleaned out their cubbies, ate some yummy food, watched some YouTube videos (sorry, kids — still no Strange Brew), and wrote some questions to Stump the Chump. It was a fun laid…
Revelation 1-22
We finished the book of Revelation yesterday, and all I can say is that three weeks is TOO DANG LONG for this content. Ignore the pacing guide and spend an extra week in the epistles. The problem with Revelation is…
2 Peter to Jude

1 and 2 Timothy
1 Timothy 1-6 This lesson was easy enough to prepare once I figured out what to do. There were several tiny, mini lessons in this text. I could have pulled one out and made a full lesson on one, but…
