For the first time in my educational career, this year I have been responsible for teaching my students Bible. Unfortunately I don’t have a Bible curriculum, but I do have a bilingual Jesus Storybook Bible and a random Bible activity book that have been doing us just fine. For the most part I have been … Continue reading The Easter Story (as told by a First Grade Teacher)

RuPaul Theology
Today I've been watching Season 2 (because Netflix doesn't have Season 1) of RuPaul's Drag Race and have been enjoying every minute of it. My brother and his girlfriend sold it to me as a mix of America's Next Top Model and Project Runway and I have not been disappointed. It's so fun. One of … Continue reading RuPaul Theology

It was a fun song, and I wish we had sung it more. Luke 19:37-40 … Continue reading Here’s the thing about praise
