Jesus Loves Me, Redefined

What if the top-line (or A) is our country and the bottom-line (or B) is other countries? How often do we have an A>B mentality in this way? What about A is less than B?



Here's a new version of "Jesus Loves Me" that corresponds with the A=B philosophy:



Jesus loves us, this is true

But he loves the ______, too.

And this is His last command,

"Take my gospel to each land."

Yes, Jesus loves them

Yes, Jesus loves them,

Yes, Jesus loves them,

The Bible tells me so."




Insert the name of a different religion in the blank in the song. For example, "But he loves the Bhuddists, too." "But he loves the Mormans, too."


Insert the name of an unreachd people group in the song. For example, "But he loves the Najdi Bedouin, too." If you're interested in praying for "unreached people groups" or groups of people who have not heard about Jesus before, you can visit http://www.joshuaproject.net/

Month-er-ena (Formerly Known as the Macerena)

Whenever we change from one month to the next on the calendar in kindergarten, we stand up and do the macerena motions as we say the months in the year. "January (right hand on head), February (left hand on head), etc." The kids get a kick out of it, especially the part where you swish your butt from side to side at the end! Though this May was the last time I got to do the montherena with my kindergarteners, there will be plenty of reasons to celebrate the upcoming months as God reveals the "what" and "where" concerning mission work. I'm so excited to see what He does this summer and invite you to check back here for occassional updates!




These are my third grade Peruvian girls doing the montherena (Summer 2007).
