Am I writing this weblog for myself or for you? Sometimes I can’t tell.
I probably won’t be teaching 4th graders at Sunday school at church once they change classes in a few weeks. We already have a lady teaching in my old slot. They don’t usually like to have men and women teaching Sunday school classes at the same time. Usually it is 2 men or 2 women, but hardly ever mixed, unless the couple is married. So now I’m on standby to teach 5th and 6th graders on Wednesday nights. But who knows if I’ll get it. Probably what will happen is that I’ll be teaching, but not the grade that I first requested. We definitely need teachers….having a difficult time filling positions.
I’d much rather teach on Wednesday nights. There are not very many interesting adult classes to go to on Wednesday nights. I’d much rather use my time wisely and try to help at the same time.
Steve Hale is back with us at church for a Gospel Meeting this week. Steve was our old preacher from about 1987-1998….a very long tenure for preachers these days. Mostly preachers stay for about 7 years….am I right? Interestingly enough I never sat down and had a conversation with Steve. I guess in my own mind I considered him difficult to approach. I wasn’t sure if I could even joke around with him.
