“Tank You”

Profile picture for user Kathy Houk
By Kathy Houk, Saturday, November 4, 2017
Giving Thanks Should Be a Way of Life
Recently, our two-year-old granddaughter braved shots and the drawing of blood while making a visit to the doctor. Through tears, she continually cried, “Tank you,” to the doctor and nurses.

Be prepared yourself. You should be there to greet them; you should not be doing lesson plans, etc. as students arrive.

Teaching Kindergarten Aged Children—Part 1
Whether you are a kindergarten teacher or a parent of a kindergarten aged child you know that they are very malleable and are always learning about their surroundings. We should take advantage of this impressionable time to teach children their ABC’s.

How to Protect Your Children

Profile picture for user Dr. Paul Chappell
By Dr. Paul Chappell, Tuesday, June 21, 2016
Guarding the Heart and Mind of Your Children
Do you ever tremble at the incredible responsibilities on your shoulders as a parent? On one hand, you are called to protect the tender hearts and minds of your children, and on the other, you are trying to do so in a terribly perverse society and while exercising faith in God. How do you balance both?

Establishing Evening and Morning Routines

Profile picture for user Daniel Hopkins
By Daniel Hopkins, Saturday, September 26, 2015
Preparing to Have the Best Day You Can Have
Many of us found that the daily routines we had established in the spring, went out the window on Memorial day. Now that school is back in full swing, it may be wise to step back and assess your daily routines. In our family, we have found that developing morning and evening routines helps us be able to get up at a decent time without stressing over whether or not we have time to prepare for the day.

The Future Is Bright

Profile picture for user Kurt Copeland
By Kurt Copeland, Monday, October 13, 2014
The Key to Developing a Strong Youth Group Is Starting Early
I love rollercoasters! I love the high climbs and the fast descents. I love the feeling of the speed of the track as well as that feeling of nearly coming out of the seat! I could go over and over again. I love the loops and the corkscrews. The more wild the ride, the better! However, I have never enjoyed the “roller coaster” of youth ministry.

More of His Person

More about Jesus—Part 1
I received a wonderful little handmade card earlier this year from “Kelly.” She is a little girl who has started coming to our children’s ministry on Wednesday evenings as a result of our summer Open House Outreach BBQ. I always enjoy cards and notes from kids—they really help to encourage a preacher and keep him focused on the work of God.

Soggy Cereal

Demonstrating Your Love for God
I despise soggy cereal! When I was a kid, there was a grandmotherly woman named Mrs. Shelton who would sometimes care for us if my parents were out of town. She had a very effective way of getting us out of bed in the morning.
