Here are the attendance list for October 2008.

Well done, keep a good and regular attendance every week. I see you in the beginning of November 2008 :), and dont forget the memory verse:

Wrong 'Right' Answers

"All right, class, today we'll begin our study of evolution," announced Miss Pruit. "Of course, most scientists today consider it to be more fact than theory, and so do I." She paused. "Yes, Robert?"

"What does 'theory' mean?" Robert asked.

"A theory is something you believe, but it hasn't been proved," replied Miss Pruit. "As I said, however, there is enough evidence to consider evolution a fact."

"Miss Pruit," said Jordan hesitantly, "the Bible says God created everything."
"Young man," snapped Miss Pruit, "we are getting our information from scientific literature, not some book of fables. We cannot take the Bible seriously."

That evening Jordan told his parents about the class. "What can I do?" he moaned. "I don't believe in evolution, but Miss Pruneface will never give me a passing grade if I just keep telling her what the Bible says about creation. Besides, a lot of the kids think I'm dumb, too, for believing in the Bible."

"Being disrespectful of your teacher won't help," Mom warned sternly. "Call her by her correct name."

"Here's an idea-when you have written work, give the answer Miss Pruit wants along with an explanation of why you don't believe it," suggested Dad. "Stand firm for what you believe-but show respect for Miss Pruit and don't argue. We'll all pray that you'll be a good student in that class and be a testimony for God."

When Jordan took the final exam on the theory of evolution, he quickly put down all the "right" answers. Then he added that he believed the "right" answers were all wrong. He briefly explained that he believed the biblical account of creation.

When the tests were returned, Jordan was surprised to see that he had gotten an "A" for the section. "Jordan, you know what you believe, and I'm sure I can't convince you otherwise," said Miss Pruit as she gave him his test paper. "You're a good student, and you've certainly studied your material."

HOW ABOUT YOU?
Do you stand up for what you believe? When you stand up for the Lord, you may be laughed at-and as far as you can tell, you may not influence anyone. But you will grow and be blessed through the experience.

TODAY'S KEY VERSE:
(1 Peter 3:15)
"Always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you."

The Right Move

"Which do you want first, the bad news or the good news?" asked Mom when Morgan got home from school.

"The bad, I guess." Morgan munched on an apple. She knew that when Mom played "Bad News/Good News" with her, the news was never terribly bad. "Dad's job transfer is to Dalton instead of to Briggs," said Mom. "Dalton?" moaned Morgan. "We already found a nice house in Briggs." She sighed. "What's the good news?" she asked. "Dalton isn't as far away as Briggs, so you and your friends here can get together more often," said Mom. "That's true," said Morgan, "but I still wish we didn't have to move at all."

She jumped up. "I'm going to check on Smokey and her kittens," she said as she left the room. Soon Morgan was back. "Mom, Smokey moved her kittens again," she said. "She put them back in my room -- under my bed. I wish I could keep them there." "I know, but that isn't a good place for them," said Mom. "It's too busy with you and your friends scooting in and out so often. The kittens are better off in the utility room." "Yeah, I guess so," agreed Morgan. "I'll move them back." When the kittens were moved, Morgan returned to the kitchen. "I shut the door to my room," she said, "so Smokey won't be able to move the kittens there again." "Good idea," said Mom. "Too bad we can't explain to Smokey that I have a good reason for shutting her out and that her babies are better off where we put them," said Morgan.

Mom nodded. "Just like us," she said. "We thought that right here was the best place for us to live. We expected to stay here a long time, but the Lord has apparently shut the door on that idea." "He must have a good reason, too. Right?" asked Morgan. "Right," agreed Mom. "I'm sure He has."

HOW ABOUT YOU?

Have you had disappointing changes in your plans? Sometimes change is hard to accept, but God wants only what's best for you. Trust Him even when things don't go the way you wish they would.

TODAY'S KEY VERSE: (Jeremiah 29:11)

I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil.

God met Abraham

Hi Kids,

Do you still remember today's story about Abraham meet God?

There were three man come to Abraham, when he was sitting outside his tent in one hot day. One of the man were the Lord, and the other two were the angels. They came to Abraham to tell him personally that God will give Abraham and Sarah, within one year. God came and talk to Abraham like a friend shows that the Abraham's relationship with God was very close, and God was really pleased with Abraham, and plan to give him a child, while Abraham was very old (100 years old), and Sarah was very old too (probably 90 years old).

Well...it was something that human unexpected, to have child in such old age.....therefore Sarah laughed to herself...but soon.....they will know, that the Lord really blessed them with a child named Isaac.

Nowadays, we are still able to communicate with God, and understand what He desired and His plans for us. It can be through prayers, reading bible, through our family, and sometimes inside our heart, there are voices saying God's words too! You should try to find out and listen for God's words in your life.

I Can't See It!

"I'll believe it when I see it!" scoffed Kurt, reaching for a drumstick.

"Oh, Kurt!" exclaimed Lisa. "I really did see a squirrel without a tail! You never believe anything!"

"We believe quite a few things we can't see," said Mom thoughtfully.

"I know . . . I know," muttered Kurt. "Like wind and electricity, right?"

"Yes, and lots of other things, too," replied Mom as she passed the potatoes. "Many important things in life can't be seen. Take love, for example. We see evidence-or results-of love, but we can't see the love itself."

"Or friendship," suggested Lisa. "You can't tell by looking at a picture that someone is your best friend."

"You can't know if a person is honest just by looking at him, either," added Dad. "All these things we've mentioned are seen only by knowing the person."

"What about believing in God?" asked Lisa. "You can't actually see Him."

"That's true. Remember Thomas in the Bible?" asked Dad. "He insisted he had to see Jesus before he could believe in the resurrection. Thomas was allowed to see Him, but Jesus said those who believe without seeing Him are blessed. We believe through faith, and God blesses that."

"If we didn't believe without having seen Him, no one would become a Christian," observed Mom.

"That's right," agreed Dad. "And did you hear who became a Christian just last Sunday? Pastor Baker told me today that Nick Pratt accepted Christ after the evening service."

"Nick Pratt!" exclaimed Kurt in surprise. "I'll believe that when I see it." He spoke the phrase automatically, a doubtful look on his face. "You know what he's like!"

"You just wait, Kurt," said Lisa. "You'll see the evidence of Jesus in Nick Pratt's life, too. You just wait!"

Kurt was silent-thinking. Suddenly he grinned. "Okay,"
he said. "I know God can change him, too. Tell you what . . . from now on my
motto will be 'I'll see it when I believe it'! Do you like that better?" He
noticed there were smiles all around the table.


HOW ABOUT YOU?
Would you say that you believe only in what you can see? You believe in air, sound, and fun, don't you? These are among the many things that can't be seen-you only see the evidence of them. You can't see Jesus today, either, but you can see the evidence of His life in the lives of Christians. Put away your doubts and put your faith in Him-He's real. Accept Him as your Savior today. (See the ABCs at the end of this book.)
