Seeing is not believing

One day a 6 year old girl was sitting in a classroom. The teacher was going to explain evolution to the children. The teacher asked a little boy:

Tommy do you see the tree outside?

TOMMY: Yes.

TEACHER: Tommy, do you see the grass outside?

TOMMY: Yes.

TEACHER: Go outside and look up and see if you can see the sky.

TOMMY: Okay. (He returned a few minutes later) Yes, I saw the sky.

TEACHER: Did you see God up there?

TOMMY: No.

TEACHER: That's my point. We can't see God because he isn't there. Possibly he just doesn't exist. A little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the boy some questions. The teacher agreed and the little girl asked the boy: Tommy, do you see the tree outside?

TOMMY: Yes.

LITTLE GIRL: Tommy do you see the grass outside?

TOMMY: Yessssss!

LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?

TOMMY: Yessssss!

LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the teacher?

TOMMY: Yes

LITTLE GIRL: Do you see her brain?

TOMMY: No

LITTLE GIRL: Then according to what we were taught today in school, she possibly may not even have one! (You Go Girl!)

HELP!

THE FRIDGE IS EMPTY!

CONTENT NEEDED IMMEDIATLY!
SERIOUSLY, THIS IS A REALLY REALLY SAD AND LONELY BLOG!

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN MAKING A POST ON THE BLOG, PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT HERE, OR EMAIL RHONDA SHELTON, OR JENNY BARRETT SO THAT WE CAN ADD YOU TO THE LIST OF AUTHORS AND YOU CAN BEGIN CONTRIBUTING!
The few of us who have been making all the posts have obviously run out of content to put on it, so we need fresh new fruit to be added!!!!!

Not sure if you have anything to say???? Here are a few ideas for EVERYONE in Family Ties to be involved in the content on the FRIDGE~
TEACHERS: please post summaries of our lessons in class! Especially since we are in a series, it is a great way to keep anyone who missed a Sunday informed!!!
CARE GROUP LEADERS: please post information for your care groups about socials, prayer needs, etc. Even though you are supposed to be sending out emails for these purposes, this is another great way to keep bases covered and make sure everyone is aware of all opportunities before them.
CLASS MEMBERS: What has God been teaching you lately? Have you put into practice a lesson recently learned from our class studies? Your experiences in life, both the success and failures, are great learning tools for everyone! Give your testimony of how you came to know the Lord personally....how you teach your children about Jesus....how you and your spouse make time for each other, and time for your family....How do you teach others around you (in the work place, at the ball field, etc) about Christ????

I have to believe that in a class our size, we all can have something to say to encourage others! Even if you're not a "writer", ask for help in telling your story!
HELP US FILL THE FRIDGE WITH A GREAT FEAST FOR EVERYONE!!!

Sunday Fun Day Questionnaire

This Sunday, June 10th, is another Family Ties "Sunday Fun Day!" We will be using this day to help get us geared up for our next bible study series on the different love languages of children. I have compiled a list of questions that I would like for you all to ask your children. Bring their answers with you to class on Sunday and we will share them with each other. I am sure this will be quite amusing!

1.) Where does your daddy work?

2.) What does your mommy do all day?

3.) Who has all the money at your house?

4.) Who cleans your house?

5.) What do you want to be when you grow up?

6.) Do you love school?

7.) Do you love going to church?

8.) Who cuts your grass?

9.) Where does God live?

10.) Who is the prettiest person you know?

11.) Who loves you more than anything?

12.) Do you love your sibling/s?

13.) Do you want your mommy to have another baby?

14.) What makes you happy?

15.) What makes you sad?

Song of Solomon

So.... you know that we were out of town. I have heard that John and I were the subject of much talk on Sunday. I want to know what you guys thought of the Song of Solomon lesson. I hear it was wonderful! Let me know YOUR thoughts. Thanks again, Vaughn!
