Iron Sharpens Iron

Today is an exciting day, Bible Bowl WITH Caleb! I guess a little back story is in order.  The first year Jon and I experienced National Bible Bowl was at McDermott Road with Caleb, Richard, Blake and Sam.  The boys were in 4th & 5th grades and Ms. Sally had told us about National Bible Bowl at Abilene Christian University.  It was the same material as Leadership Training for Christ's Bible Bowl on steroids!  

National Bible Bowl is 250 questions! The four boys competed that year over the book of 1 Samuel.  They would go on to compete in Nationals at ACU, Oklahoma Christian University, The Soul Winning Workshop and now at Texas Bible Bowl. 

Many of the kids we've added over the years are kids that have a special bond and closeness to Caleb and Abigail.  Because of the sweet friendships the kids have asked each week how Caleb is doing in Spain.  Today Caleb is home and here to hang out with the class.  

It was a great day having all 'my kids' together.  I love that the kids Richard and Caleb once encouraged are now serving to encourage younger kids!  That is how that is supposed to work.  It's neat to think that one day these kids will be serving in the Lord's body at other congregations when they grow up. How sweet to think of the friendship they've formed in their youth! 

As iron sharpens iron,

    so one person sharpens another.
