The Jello Jordan River and chocolate candy monuments
So, my friend Jen and I are teaching a bible class at church this semester, and while we started out on a great foot with the kids, I think we may have blown it with the parents. We're studying Joshua and we got to chapters 3 and 4 where they haul the Ark of the Covenant out into the Jordan and cross on dry ground. Then they get to the other side and build a 12-stone monument out of river rocks. We built ours out of candy...and then we ate them. Oooops. We also had a 9x13 pyrex pan of "Jordan River," flavored in blue berry burst. We definately ate that...all five of us...out of the same river...at least we had seperate spoons. So our kids came running down the stairs with their chocolate monuments, really excited about it, only to show their moms, who were thrilled with the prospect of chocolate filled children (not that it has any effect whatsover!) and thier little brothers and sisters were upset that they didn't get to build one. Next week we plan to take down the Jericho wall with Kazoos...do you think we'll be fired or not?

The monuments are excellent! Great art is never appreciated. Most parents are "stick in the muds". Be thankful that yours were crazy. Love you.
Yum! I wish I were in your Bible class : ) But, this worries me a little. Have you finally resigned yourself to your role as a preacher's wife? Eric the preacher and Emerald the Sunday school teacher - watch out, next it will be Emerald the children's ministry coordinator : )
no, no, no...you missed the point here. "Eric the preacher and Emerald the About-To-Be-Fired Wednesday Night Teacher." Two completely different things.
Hey, just wanted to tell you, nice job on those engagement photos!! I can tell you're really getting the hang of it. I'm sure they are thrilled with the finished product.
