He lived for 33 years. He was resurrected and has been hanging out "at the right hand of the Father" for about 1980 years (ish). And the only thing you can talk about is that he died for your sins? Which sins are you even thinking of?"<BR/><BR/>Love.

After that the "canned" answers & phrases start to appear. <BR/><BR/>Often, superficial equals safe.

I get the same thing - this past Sunday we worked on the class faith statement which will be used this Sunday (youth sunday - our contribution) and on the Sunday of confirmation. Was very hard to get my very bright group of 8th graders to get descriptive (what does "Jesus taught us how to live" mean?, I asked. "How might your statement explain more/what does it look like for someone who doesn't know about Jesus?," I continued. The four confirmands looked at me as if I was an alien and told me to write it myself since I evidently had something in mind for them to say. Hmmm...how to remain engaged but not aggravated....and to let the learning stay theirs (It is your statement, not mine, I perhaps unhelpfully replied). THey got it done. It is what it is - an offering to God and a statement of what they were willing to put on paper on Sunday March 18 2007. So be it. And I keep on praying and thinking about faith and human development and resistance and experiential learning and sometimes it feels like pulling teeth. Sigh. And I missed my mom and dad a lot this weekend - dad moved to his new house in TN on Friday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545355.post-73855610083070742112007-03-19T13:18:00.000+00:002007-03-19T13:18:00.000+00:00Well, the jig is up.

Now you know who I am because STUPID BLOGGER always defaults to the lesser used of my blogs!<BR/><BR/>Please don't give away my secret...or come after me or something creepy like that :)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, as I was saying, I am surprised you were able to get the ink out of their hands.
