Welcome

I would love to invite you into my home to have a cup of tea with me. We could sit in my sunny kitchen and talk about all the things that are going on in our lives. I could share with you the news I hear from my grown daughters. How my grandkids are growing. We could laugh together over the funny things that they have said. It would be fun to share the ins and outs of our family life, and talk about our latest creative projects. We could share what God has been teaching us, in our personal lives, and encourage each other on this walk of faith. We could pray together, laugh together, and even cry together. Since most of us will never be able to sit down together face to face, I would like to invite you to join me here. So come on in and have a cup of tea with me.

A little funny...

This past week Teddy's Bible verse was John 15:5. "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing."

Well, he kept saying, "That isn't nice to say". (referring to the last part, "for without me ye can do nothing.") So I of course spent some time trying to explain the verse. I was pretty excited because we have been learning about trees in Science, and I thought, "what a great way to bring what we have been talking about in science into our Bible class!"

So I spent some time reminding him about what we had been learning about trees, and how if you had an apple tree and cut a branch off of it, that branch wouldn't be able to grow new leaves or apples, because it wasn't attached to the trunk. Then I told him that is what the verse is saying. It is saying that Jesus is like the trunk of the tree and we are like the branches.... Anyway you get the idea, I'm sure!

After spending some time explaining and talking about it, and asking questions to make sure he was understanding, we finished up Bible and started getting ready for Math. About that time Teddy says, "I'm just not believing any of it!" I said, "what are you not believing?" He replies, "I'm just not believing that, that man could have leaves and apples growing out of him!"

So much for my "great explanation!" :-p
