John The Baptist

John. He is the #1 guy to prepare us for Jesus birth. He has herd the voice of god shouting in the deserting, calling him, to prepare us for Jesus' coming.


I got was able to teach the kindergarten class this Saturday, at Catechism. i say John the baptist and well they look at the roof. So instead of making them remember that long line.... i told them to remember John. John is much easier... at least they did remember that. John. John the one who told us to share our food is we have than we can eat. Share our coat if we have an extra. I love to hear some very creative answers Kindergartens come up with....  Well they are learning still... i can't blame them for wanting to keep all there coats and to eat all there food even if they are full.... But the point is that i get the point a cross to them........ Doesn't matter if they remember it next weekend.... at least they know some what a little more at mass that Sunday.

 I found it way to grasp onto how this group of kids learn.... Crafts, crafts, coloring, Crafts, Going to the church, ( thats attached to the school), Coloring, and did i mention Crafts? That's the unique part in teaching.... changing your classes up year to year, and make it teachable for that group of students. I am teacher for when the others can't come in.... i love beaning able to teach.....

John the baptist well was the key lesson teaching this weekend. The kids still look at the roof while i'm teaching.... but i know some how they are listening, when i ask them for there ears.....  it got difficult when one wouldn't give me there ears.... just kidding..... if it makes sense to the little kids it makes sense to me. they Pretend to give me there ears as i read the story of John the baptist......  And really expressed the fact that well thirty was pretty old...... Like really old...... not calling anyone old..... Remember it makes sense to them..... makes sense for me................... John....... then it finally clicks..... i have to do an advent service in front of all the catechism classes..... GrEaT.... My sister just lets me be the leader....... of course...... ( my sister teaches grade one.... we combined classes this weekend)  i wish she hadn't......  i get nervous... mess up... and well i'm praying to john the baptist to help me while I read my lines for the service..... He helped me.... that's the good news...

But another famous story of john was well his death.... princess shiba wanted his head cut off....Hared  didn't want to, but his promise was to give her anything she wanted.... so John's head was cut off and brought to her on a plate..... MMMMM A dead persons head on a plate.... nice scenery... :)

May John the Baptist help us to make our path straighter, our road stronger, and help us to open up our heart, and open up our  life to help others.
