All for His Glory!
I had the Bible lesson on Friday. It was going to be about the Garden of Eden, and I was stressing out. I felt like it was going to be the hardest Bible lesson I could ever teach, and I was terrified of failing, especially since it was going to be the first story...
Divine Appointment
Where am I going to sit? This is the question I ask every Monday at lunch. There are so many children I could sit with. Finally, I sat down next to some 6th grade girls. We talked about family, Thanksgiving, and other things. I was rather disappointed that nothing...
Boyfriends & Missionaries…
Our last class is done, and I am walking down the hall, headed for my waiting ride. Just ahead of me is the girls’ bathroom and there are about five fifth grade girls standing outside of it. As I walk towards them, one says something and points to me. I don't know...
A Different Sort of Seed
Last week our challenge to fourth grade was to not say bad words. Over lunch, I had a lengthy conversation with them about bad language, and what they should do when a movie they are watching has bad language. Then, while tutoring our second grade class, I was able...

A Story to Tell
I work with one of the best story tellers at In The Gap, Elizabeth H. Whenever a story comes up in our planning, guess who I want to tell it? Her! Not me! Nope! Her! But this Sunday, she asked if I would like to tell the Canadian Goose story to our classes. It...
Growing Excitement
How do you motivate a 5th grader to read their Bible? Candy! How do you get a 5th grader to understand and apply what they read? I have no idea. For the past few weeks, I have been encouraging my 4th and 5th grade girls at Bible Club to read their Bibles. However,...
Teddy
There was a story many years ago of an elementary teacher. Her name was Mrs. Thompson. And as she stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school, she told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved...
Now What?
Danell headed home to Virginia after her spring session at In The Gap, praying, “God, what do You want me to do this summer?” An exciting possibility to serve on a mission trip was before her, but as she prayed about it, she sensed God calling her to serve Him in the...
