Three's Company

Summer is quickly approaching and today was the first "last" of the spring - our last day of bible study for the year. In the next two weeks, we also have our last co-op and Scott's last day of school. We'll have our "first" summer event, Vacation Bible School, before Derrick has his last day of school.

I have spent the last 30 weeks of bible study in the book of Revelation. I read about God's great love for His people, His awesome return, and His wrath for those who reject Him. I've read about plagues, hunger, earthquakes, and darkness; salvation, love, streets of gold and a faithful bridegroom who returns for his bride. But, nowhere in my study have I seen any proof that my Alma Mater is in fact "The Southern Part of Heaven," as those in Chapel Hill like to think.

Meanwhile, the children have had their own bible study upstairs. They began in Genesis and have learned Old Testament and New Testament stories, through Jesus' death and resurrection. Today they learned that Jesus returned to heaven to prepare a place for them. It tied in quite well with the end of our study of heaven.

The artwork Andrew did (shown below) was so beautiful that I posted it on the refrigerator when we got home. While cooking dinner, I noticed that the Old Well is in the center of the picture, just beyond the gates of heaven! Maybe Chapel Hill is the Southern Part of Heaven. After all, if God is not a Tarheel, why is the sky Carolina Blue?
