Bible Hour, the New Revised Standard Version

For years I have been concerned about the methods we used in teaching Bible Classes during Bible Hour on Sunday Mornings. Not that the content was not there or that the teachers who volunteer were not doing their best. I was just concerned that we were not using the best possible educational methods available. Several times when I asked about changing somethings around and making it more like the education model I was using in my classroom at school, I always was encouraged to go ahead "fix" it. Well, with working full time teaching and raising 3 children I just never felt I had the time to devote to doing the job the way it should be done. I just knew that if we made our Bible Classes more educationally sound and relevant then our children would maybe be more able to apply Bible principals to their everyday life. I want the Bible to come alive to children and that it really becomes a usable guide to live by. So, strange things happen when you let God take control of your life. I now find myself retired from teaching public school and working with an incredible Church that is not only allowing me to do some of the changes that I feel is needed, but encouraging me along in this journey. I feel God's direction in this endeavor. Please pray for the success of this journey.
