Mary Margaret's Challenge

Mary Margaret challenged me to post a scripture everyday this week. You can read her blog, Tales Fromm 7th Grade. She says the Daily Bible Verse Gadget I have does not count. She challenged Taylor too, but she is SOOOOO GROUNDED for like EVER because of her part in Mary Margaret getting called ugly names at school. It was so disappointing to find out.

I'm taking Mary Margaret's challenge and uping the challenge...I challenge her to use facebook as an "Every Believer a Witness" tool, and I'm going to tweet on twitter too.

Today we travel to Paragould for MM's last track meet.

I brought my grandfathers Bible with me to work today, I got his Bible after he passed away. Opened it up and picked the first verse I noticed uderlined. This Bible well worn and wrote in. Somone told me once "If a man's Bible is falling apart, you can be sure he isn't". I love using it. Please leave me comments if the verses I use speak to you in anyway.

Train up a child in the way he should go and, when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6

Feel free to take this challenge, I don't have one of those fancy button thingy's, just let me know!

He delievers.

My mom cross stitched this verse and it was always hanging on our wall. and I thought about it a TON as a kid. I was all, huh??

Her verse said this:

Train up a child in the way he should go, and Walk there yourself once in a while.

Funny yes, but now that I'm older makes me think. I like the part NOT on my mom's stitching.. the part where they will not depart from it.. it's true AND it's not, I think I mean, kids and grown ups sometimes NEED to depart from it, to figure out life and RETURN to it, ya know? But I geuss that's theh point, if you teach them well, where ever they go, they will come back??
Am I making sense?
