Super Tuesday

In an effort to jump start our not-consistent-enough family devotions, we began "Super Tuesdays" tonight. I suppose my passion for politics prompted the un-original name, but the concept is simple - each Tuesday night, my wife and I present one "Super Idea" (basically one important biblical concept) to my kids and after a short verbal explanation (in a child's vernacular), make it stick with a hands-on activity.

Tonight (our first Super Tuesday) we discussed Forgiveness, complete with an ending activity consisting of dirt, water, the resulting mud, their hands, in the mud, spray bottle filled with water, clean hands ... you get the picture.

The words of 1 John never cease to amaze me:

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Such a promise is either completely true or a pipe dream of a guy named John. I know it's true. Through the help of the Lord, and Super Tuesday, I plan on my girls knowing it's true too.

Your girls are beautiful! And yes, time does seem to go faster the older you get. I love the idea of your "Super Tuesdays" hands-on biblical lessons - wish I had done that with my children. Maybe with my grandchildren - thanks for the idea.
