The Mr.'s birthday reminds me to daily renew my promise to love, honor, and cherish him. Easter reminds me of the faithfulness of God's promises. He promises struggle, but also deliverance. God never wants us to forget that; He's constantly reminding us that He will rescue us. What promises does April remind you of? Perhaps, you're thinking of promises you made regarding your students. Either promises made directly to them, or hopes forged from the year's beginning. Maybe you're looking at the school year coming to a close and April finds you recommitted to doubling down on those promises.  Perhaps, promises regarding your personal life are on your mind. Maybe you want to spend more time outside with family, now that the weather is warming. Or maybe you want to commit to taking one day, one hou...

In 2025 we're working our way through the gospels and invite you to join us as we seek to learn from Jesus. Admittedly, I'm not keeping the pace. Matthew 18 was supposed to be completed in  February . While I'm still committed to work my way through the gospels, I'm going to alter the pace beginning in April. At that point, I'll make two calendars, the one with the original pace, if that's been working for you, and one at a slower pace. Likely, we will continue this study in 2026. The download will still include a blank calendar so you can plan your own pace.  Find all our notes, from this year and past years, at the  Faith Food  tab.
