Another Year of Teaching

It's been forever since I've posted on here; kinda makes me wonder why I keep a blog at all. Probably no one reads it. But probably better that way.

As I've mentioned on here previously, I have a great job that allows me to teach the Bible to middle school students both in a classroom setting and in church. One thing I am currently working on is developing outlines for the entire New Testament. As I am teaching through the New Testament in one of my classes this year, I am making outlines within each book. We have already finished Matthew and Mark, and we are currently working through Luke's gospel.

Assuming this project continues on course, I will finish the entire New Testament in May 2011. Since they are my lessons for the class, I will probably be fired if they do not get finished, since that would mean I'm not teaching what I should be. The hardest part about teaching through the gospels has been organizing and harmonizing the events in order to compare which gospels contain similar information and where a book contains material unique to itself.

I thank God for the chance to be able to do this, because it will benefit me greatly down the road. Hopefully those who sit under my teaching will also benefit, because it is for them that I am doing this work.
