Well, last night I completed the Sunday School lesson I've been planning. I'm happy I got it done so early. I am however, desiring to create more lessons. So, I will probably begin another lesson now. It's really weird. It seems like whatever chapter Maggie and I read, or whatever verses I go over one night, the next day, someone on the radio, or Pastor Al talks about it and all my little questions get answered or my conclusions get confirmation. It's pretty cool that my studies seem to coincide with a lot of the random calls to the Christian talk shows. That's happened quite a few times.

So, Sunday's lesson is on leadership. The kind that goes by setting an example that others will follow and look to. The verse I chose to use as my master verse was 1 Timothy 4:12- Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity. This verse is awesome. It was directed to Timothy from Paul because Timothy was young compared to the church leaders he visited, but it applies so well to our youth of today. This goes hand and hand with a point I had in my last lesson, "The Bible is Timeless." It always applies to our lives. I've heard the argument that it's just an outdated piece of literature that holds no guidelines applicable to today's trials and living. What a bunch of bunk. So, I basically dissected the verse so as to clarify its life application. I broke it into "speech," "life," "love," "faith," and "purity" and gave a description of each of their meanings. I think it'll go well. I'm feeling confident that the Holy Spirit will fill me and the words will be there when the time comes. Luke 12:12 "for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say."

I talked to Joe, my supervisor, today about the stuff being stolen out of my truck. He wasn't mad. He just said, "Well, I'm not going to say anything more than 'you know to lock the bins now' because I'm sure you've already beat yourself up about it enough." And that was awesome. I didn't get written up, I didn't get made fun of, instead he was just matter of fact and cool about it. I'm actually very relieved.

Mike called me earlier and was talking about hanging out tonight, but I had to leave work and grab my stuff, so I told him I'd call him back. Once I called him back however, I got the answering machine. His car broke down today and he said he was planning on taking care of that when I talked to him, so I'm assuming that's what he's up to right now. It's okay though, cause I'm perusing the scripture.

You know, I just typed all that and then did a spell check, and nothing was misspelled. Seriously...I thought perusing would be spelled wrong because I've never actually typed that word before and it looked funny to me, but no! It was spelled right! I'm thoroughly impressed with myself tonight.
