After Vacation Bible School, I asked my 2 oldest boys what they’d learned.

So my oldest son starts to tell me about Jesus walking on the water and Peter asking if he could come out to walk on the water too.

Just then, Brandon jumped in and cut Bralon off and said ”And Jesus told Peter, peace - be still.”

I looked at him sort of puzzled for a second because he was standing up with his arms outstretched and he had this big smile that said, yep, I remembered my VBS lesson too.

He seemed a little heartbroken when I told him he’d gotten the stories mixed up.

I told him the difference between the two stories and he seemed ok. But he still had a point to make.

He said, “Yeah mommie, but Jesus did say peace, be still” with the same hand gesters again.

I told him yes, Jesus did say “Peace, be still.”

He nodded like that was all he needed to know.

Well, I haven’t been posting very often lately. But that’s about to change.

I’ve joined a Blogging Challenge started by Nell at Casual Friday Everyday.

I thought I’d offer a twist on this challenge for you - the visitors of Teach Kids The Bible.

I’m going to challenge you to read the Bible with your children every for 31 days. Will you join me?

Yes! I’m so glad!

My sons and I are going to start with Genesis in our Children’s Bible and read 10-15 minutes a night.

You know, there’s research that says it takes 21 days to break or make a habit. So if we make it 31 days, then there’s a great chance that this will become a permanent part of our kids lives.

 

So if you’re joining our challenge, please click the “Comments” button below and say Yes - my kids and I are in. And tell us what you will be reading.

Be Blessed!

I open this podcast with some exciting announcements!

My guest is Debbie Woolsey of GreatBooks4All. We discuss how Debbie’s family incorporates the Bible into their homeschool curriculum and the great Bible story books Usborne Books offers.
