Being Present in the Present
The hummingbird migration is in full force here in the southern United States. I love to sit on the deck in the mornings watching them zoom around! I am reminded of a devotion I wrote several years ago I want to share with you today.
A Christian Devotion - Being Present
A hummingbird just zoomed past as I sit on our porch for my morning quiet time with the Lord. Sometimes I need that reminder of life being fleeting. It’s important to be aware of the moments which seem to zoom by us.
Being present in the present is truly a gift. It’s a gift we receive from our Father above as well as a gift we can give to those around us.
I am terrible about allowing my thoughts to wander even as I am listening to someone conversing with me…so much so that I catch myself glancing beyond them with both my eyes and thoughts. It’s really such a shame.
Focus.
Be aware.
Moments pass too quickly.
People pass too quickly.

A First for Me — A Book Signing!
This was a first for me, and I wasn't sure what to expect. You see, I over think and become anxious with unknowns. When our local Christian Bookstore invited me, of course I said yes in spite of that though!
What I found was far from worrisome! I was reminded again how very important community is; being a part of God's big family is a huge blessing! We are able to give and receive encouragement; we share joys and sorrows; we serve together as one body. I am so grateful for each and every person who stopped by!
One of the words in Creative Bible Study: A Collection of Words is: UNITY. Another word for unity is harmony. Think of an orchestra with each instrument uniquely playing their individual parts all from the same sheet of music and creating the beautiful sound of oneness. Even though they are vastly different, they unite with one purpose.
Another fun way to illustrate unity is with the Skittles Science Object Lesson found on our Object Lesson page. As the water touches the Skittles, their uniqueness begins to move closer to the other colors while all continue moving towards the point in the center. They don't lose their uniqueness, but as they come together they create something bigger—a beautiful rainbow of colors!
May we strive to do the same in Christ, by the power of His Holy Spirit, and all for the Father's glory.
"Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity." Colossians 3:14 NLT

Let's Pray for Our Teachers!
Teachers, you are amazing!!! Whether you teach school, Sunday school, home school, tutor, parent, grandparent or in some other capacity ... you matter!
With a new school year about to begin, it reminds us how important it is to keep our teachers lifted up in prayer as God uses them to impact lives for time and eternity. Keep a list of all the teachers influencing your kids, grandkids, etc. and pray for them daily!
I've heard the story of Teddy Stoddard told as a true story. Recently though I read it was written as fiction for Home Life Magazine by Elizabeth Silance Ballard.
No matter - the truth of its meaning still rings true as we touch the lives of others. We never know how God will use even small actions to make a big difference in someone else's life!

Excited to Announce!
If you've enjoyed our website, I hope you'll be excited about the book! It's now available on Amazon, Walmart and Barnes & Noble!
Creative Bible Study: A Collection of Words helps beginners learn to read the Bible, gives others a fresh way to return to studying the Bible, and also assists Bible teachers with creative prompts for Bible lessons.
Three words describe this book: random, organized, connected…random words have been placed in an organized format while connecting God’s Word to facets of His world in our everyday lives all for the purpose of us growing in knowing Him better.
Randomness opens our minds to the unexpected; it takes us out of the rut of routine and opens us to receive new.
Organization keeps us from being overwhelmed all at once; we can see pieces of the whole in a new way.
Connection gives us understanding and the relationship of purpose fitting thoughts together.

Jesus is More than a Super Hero ... He's the Ultimate Freedom Fighter!
Steve Rogers, better known as Captain America, was the first of Marvel Comics’ group of heroes called “The Avengers”. He was known to stand for freedom and justice. He would stand up for anyone needing a hero. He was a weak young man that the army didn’t want until he became a part of a secret experiment called “Project: Rebirth” which made him a strong super soldier in World War II.
Of course we know Captain America was not a real man. There is a real Avenger or Redeemer; His name is Jesus! He is fully God and came to earth as fully man so that we could be rescued from death caused by sin. He is ready to save anyone willing to admit we need a hero…a Savior. Only Jesus can rescue us and give us eternal life. Yes, it is God’s “Project: Rebirth.” Jesus made a way for us to be born again as He says in the Gospel of John chapter 3!
Bible Heroes Lesson Summary: God's made the way for our rescue! His plan was already in place before sin ever entered the world. Jesus left heaven to make The Way for us to come back to God, to be born again and live forever with Him in Heaven.
Key Takeaway: Jesus is the ultimate hero and our only true rescuer!

It can be played by one or many and therefore fun to use with any ages. The primary goal is to keep the balloon up and not let it touch the ground. This can be played as individuals or as a team with as many balloons as you want to add.
My granddaughters ages 2-5 love to play this game, and I've seen youth groups go all out playing it too!
