Sufficiency of Scripture

When Jesus had said this, He became troubled in spirit, and testified and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray Me.”  The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know of which one He was speaking. There was reclining on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples,whom Jesus loved.  So Simon Peter gestured to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking.”  He,leaning back thus on Jesus’ bosom, said to Him, “Lord, who is it?”  Jesus then answered, “That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him.” So when He had dipped the morsel, He took and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.  After the morsel, Satan then entered into him. Therefore Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.” Now no one of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him.  For some were supposing, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, “Buy the things we have need of for the feast”; or else, that he should give something to the poor.  So after receiving the morsel he went out immediately; and it was night.

John 13:21-30

Sufficiency of Scripture

So when He had washed their feet, and taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you?  You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am.  If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.  For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you.  Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.  If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.  I do not speak of all of you. I know the ones I have chosen; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’ From now on I am telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am He. Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”

John 13:12-20

Sufficiency of Scripture

 Then He poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.  So He came to Simon Peter. He said to Him, “Lord, do You wash my feet?”  Jesus answered and said to him, “What I do you do not realize now, but you will understand hereafter.”  Peter said to Him, “Never shall You wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.”  Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, then wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.” Jesus said to him, “He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you.”  For He knew the one who was betraying Him; for this reason He said, “Not all of you are clean.”

John 13:5-11

What we thought:

This is our second time using Reading Eggs.  Last time, DD was the right age for the Reading Eggs program for 3-7 year olds.  He loved it and made HUGE improvements in his reading skills. This time, being 8, I put him into Reading Eggspress.  We did not have as much success with that, so I think I will put him back into the Reading Eggs side.  He is a beginning reader and I felt that his skills in all the language areas were not strong enough to work independently.  For Instance, there was one activity where he was revealing tiles to see a picture.  You reveal one square at a time and then select the item from a list on the left, while a timer is going.  The key to this game is to get select the right item from the list before the timer goes off.  I felt like there was not enough time for him to FIND the correct response before the timer ran out.  He KNEW what it was, he could not find it in time.  Another activity was to choose which word, from three was an adverb.  He is becoming familiar with finding nouns, verbs, and adjectives...we have not worked much with adverbs yet.  Again, this activity was timed and was above his current skills.  He thought the activities were fun, but needed help.  I just did not have the time to sit with him while he was working.

And about NCCS:

The National Children's Cancer Society works to support families financially, emotionally and with educational resources so that families can focus their attention on illness and recovery.  Having had a child sick in the hospital for a short time, I applaud the efforts of the NCCS to support families, so that their attention can be on the first things that should be first.  You can read more about their organizations on their website and on their fact sheet.  NCCS is doing a great work for families walking though hard things.

Sufficiency of Scripture

Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.  During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him,  Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God, got up from supper, and laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He girded Himself.

John 13:1-4
