I am looking for ideas for extra lesson on Sunday since we finished the course already.I am thinking of playing a guessing game (We call it Pinoy Henyo or Filipino Genius) a popular game on tv. I am searching for words/objects discussed during the course, for that game and as a token/gift for class to remember the lesson associated with the object. I found your blog as a great resource. I also write an excerpt of my New Testament Lessons on my blog (www.mycomingsandgoings.com)although still got lots of backlog post to write. Reading your blog makes it easy to recall what I have taught. So thank you!!MheAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05918029699410629158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7706071451857400135.post-71955727517106410402011-01-15T21:00:06.580-08:002011-01-15T21:00:06.580-08:00W Dean, thank you for contributing that interestin...W Dean, thank you for contributing that interesting information!Nancy Wyatt Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14758524730006544116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7706071451857400135.post-85051928761296033342011-01-14T20:46:51.551-08:002011-01-14T20:46:51.551-08:00Luke's comment that there were "shepherds...Luke's comment that there were "shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flocks by night" is in fact telling the reader, the event happened in the spring of the year. This is the only time that sheep are watched at night. The rest of the year they are corralled and pined up at night. The reason that shepherds watch sheep in the spring by night is that the sheep need to be herded well into the night when the daylight hours are still so short and when there is only new growth. If sheep are not moved they will eat all the young grass blades all the way to the root, leaving nothing to grow in the summer and the young blades are not so plentiful that they can get enough in only the daylight hours. They need a lot to eat after a winter of feeding off of last fall's harvested food stock that would, no doubt, be depleted. The sheep are kept on a constant move in the spring to reduce this chance of all the grass being eaten to a stubble. In the summer when the grass is growing, the sheep can get their fill of food by the shepherds only watching (herding) the sheep in the day time and then at night sheep are corralled in make shift pens (or their permanent pens near home) to protect them from predators. In the fall the grass is still hearty and the sheep are managed very similar to the way they are in the summer time. In the winter, mostly the sheep are fed grasses that had been previously put up, for there is essentially no grass to be found growing anyway. So by telling us that the shepherds watched their flocks by night, Luke is saying...the Christ child was born in the spring. This is why he said this statement...to fix the time of the year! He could have said it a number of other ways, but shepherding was a very common occupation and everyone of the day would have understood that statement as proclaiming the time of the year, and they would not necessarily have understood it as a statement just about shepherds or sheep.<br /><br />Sister Jensen you do a grand job with your blog and I sure do appreciate your insight!W Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931824459533800231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7706071451857400135.post-48506254540267332262011-01-14T12:47:06.875-08:002011-01-14T12:47:06.875-08:00This has left me feeling excited to teach the less...This has left me feeling excited to teach the lesson...you have answered a question left over from last weeks lesson that remain unanswered.
