Saturday, August 15th, 2009Like us, most publishers have mothballed their flocking machine (a press designed to adhere glue and yellow fuzz to paper to create flannelgraph) and moved on to other means of communicating the gospel. I realize some of you miss the hours of cutting those paper figures out and putting them in sequential order for the lesson. From flocking to film and from cardigans to DVDs, people of every age take in information differently from the way we did even a decade ago.
Is it still there?
Tuesday, August 11th, 2009The first morning at the ranch there is no structured schedule early in the morning. So I stole the chance to go back to the spot my son and I shared our daily quiet time each morning at the ranch last year.
It is a bench made from one huge concrete block that must weigh literally a ton. On top of the formed block are two large pieces of rugged timber about 8 inches square and 5 feet long. It makes the perfect bench. Oh, did I mention it sits in the middle of a flowing stream?
Potato, Broccoli and Beer
Saturday, August 1st, 2009. Now we have a leader who says drinking is an acceptable method of conflict resolution. I can see this now, two kids fighting on the playground and the teacher breaks it up and invites them in for grape soda and root beer. In addition to seeing the reward of the invite, they now imagine their A&W is an Anheuser Busch.
