Lion for Melita

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

LionHi. My name is Melita.

I live in Brisbane, Australia.

Can you please draw me a lion sketch?

There is a reason. Lions remind me of “Daniel in the Lions’ Den” and
how an angel came and shut the lions mouths. My favourite part is when the bad men were then thrown in the lions’ den themselves.

Those men make me feel ashamed of the human race because of how badly they sinned.

Once again please draw me a lion sketch.

Yours truly,

Melita

Wow! That’s pretty cool that we have friends all the way in Australia. I’m glad to draw Melita a lion. I’m also glad that it reminds her of such a cool Bible story.

If you would like me to draw a sketch that you suggest send your idea to: ProfessorQB@gmail.com

I like to draw people best. So, think of a kind of job a person has and send that to me and I’ll try to get to it. I cannot promise that I’ll get to yours but maybe, just maybe, if you are luck like Melita, you could see a sketch you suggested right her on ChurchFun.com

So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!”

A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that Daniel’s situation might not be changed. Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night without eating and without any entertainment being brought to him. And he could not sleep.

At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den. When he came near the den, he called to Daniel in an anguished voice, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?” Daniel answered, “O king, live forever! My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, O king.”

The king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den. And when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.

Daniel 6:16-23 (NIV)

Five Ways to Learn a Bible Memory Verse

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

BrainLearning Bible verses is one of the best things you can do. A lot of times you need to learn them for Sunday School or Vacation Bible School, but sometimes it is good just to learn them on your own.

Maybe your whole family could learn verses together.

Here are five good ways to learn Bible verses.

1) Read the verse aloud making sure that you know what each word means and can pronounce each word.

Do not just read silently. Your brain will actually learn by forming the words and hearing your voice say the words.

After you know how to say each word and know what each word means read the verse 10 times aloud.

2) Say the verse to someone else. Let them look at the Bible but you don’t look. Tell them that if you hesitate or miss a word to let you finish or keep trying until you ask for their help. Sometimes the struggle in our brain is part of the learning process.

3) Get 3″ X 5″ cards (you can buy these at an office supply store or cut your own out of paper). Write each word of the verse on a different card. Shuffle the cards then put them in the right order. It helps to place all the cards on a table where you can slide them around. Then you can easily try different combinations.

4) After you feel like you know the verse pretty well, write the verse. Write it five times.

5) Write the verse on a 3″ X 5″ card and carry it with you so you can practice each day. By the time you get to this step you will know the verse pretty well. By going over it each day you will learn it even better. It won’t be something you just learn for a little while and forget soon but you will really know it.

BONUS: Ok. So far all five tips work for memorizing anything. If you have a science test or have to learn the lines for a play that will work. Here is the most important tip. Pray that God will let you learn the verse and do what it says. Learning Bible verses is different than just learning facts. It changes you and prayer helps that happen.

Amazing Picture of a Star

Friday, June 20th, 2008

Picture of Star on Curt Gunz websiteI’ve mentioned before that looking at the stars is one of my favorite ways to think about God; how great He is; how big He is; and if He can take care of the whole universe, then He can take care of me.

Well, I came across this photo. It is a Hubble Space Telescope image of the star V838 Monocerotis. NASA says “V838 Monocerotis is located about 20,000 light-years away from Earth in the direction of the constellation Monoceros, placing the star at the outer edge of our Milky Way galaxy.”

You can click on the picture on the right. But the image is HUGE and will take a while to load on your computer. You will probably have to use your computer’s scroll bars to see this cool picture of the star.

Whenever I see things like this I think of the Bible verse:

The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.

There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard.

Psalm 19:1-3 (NIV)

Just wanted to share this with you.

Soil Experiment Growing Pinto Beans

Saturday, June 21st, 2008

Pinto Bean to Grow for ExperiementWhen God created the world He made everything just right.

Think about these things:

If Earth were just a little closer to the sun we would burn up and water would vaporize

If the earth did not tilt on its axis there would not be seasons and things could not grow.

If there were just a little more of certain gases or a little less of others in our atmosphere we could not breath.

If our soil had just a little more or a little less of some chemicals plants could not grow.

This project (adapted from TryScience.org) will show what would happen if there was just a little more salt in soil. (more…)
