The Divorced Son: Part Twelve | Reflections

Image
                      My Brother.   I remember pulling him around in the red wagon in Sherwood, Ohio. He was my greatest joy.   I always wanted him to be my best friend. But that was not meant to be.   I still love my brother deeply, but there is resentment now, on both sides.                   I remember our days in Ohio. We went everywhere together.   I was always protective of him.   I wanted him to be happy. I even remember one time we filled an empty 2-liter bottle with water and packed some bologna.   We walked together down to the train yard.   There was a small wooden overlook that we got up on. I don’t think anyone knew we went there.   It was a special memory to me. All of the Ohio memories were good, until the Divorce.             ...

April 2024 | Calendars

Image
An Easter-less April? It's odd, right? April usually comes bedecked in bunnies, eggs, and chicks, but not this year. This year, I suppose we'll switch to colorful umbrellas, smiling raindrops, and bright yellow flowers. Regardless, April remains coupled with Easter for me. What is your decorating theme this April, leaders? Will you stick with bunnies and chicks or will you change your theme? The truth is, your learners care less about the decorations and more about where you're leading them. So keep leading them to goodness and truth.  And if you want to sprinkle in a little JOY, we have a few ideas we hope will help you. Our April 2024 offerings include: April 2024 Ideas for  Every  Day Calendar  (family friendly, educational)  April 2024 Growth for Today Calendar  (personal growth, Isaiah study) Blank 2024 Calendars   Bible verses  Inspirational Quotes April 2024 Ideas for EVERY Day View the  current month's calendar   at the Learnin...
