Sunday school teacher ordinary!

Yesterday I went to reception on campus for Debbie Fulton and ran into two of the physical plant guys, Tom lee and John Haney, both were in my Sunday School couples class at lst baptist!   (John and Peggy Haney are pictured).

Tom regaled all who would listen about my teaching methods!  He said that his favorite story about me was about forgiveness and that someone in the class said that the culprit would get his just rewards in the end.  My comment as an ordinary teacher was, "Yeah, but I like to be around to see him get in the neck."  What a loving philosophy I had.    Every Easter, I handed out a blank sheet of paper and they knew that they were going to have to write the seven last words in order from the cross sayings.  Tom said that he took a cheat sheet and wrote them down and I caught him.   He actually repeated some of the words for Juan Crites and Ann Hayes, who were in stitches laughing.

I wish I could say I miss teaching.   I do miss seeing the couples and being there for them.   I did grow to love each of them and I still do.    And that is what teaching is -- building trust in relationships and knowledge!
