Chapter 1: Celebration of Discipline: Door to Liberation

Just completed a session teaching this class with some awesome students and thought I would share my notes from when I attended the class myself in 2010.

Hello there,

I’ve just started this class in Bible school (for the second time) called Celebration of Discipline.  Sounds all serious and somber, right?  Don’t get scared, I’ll break it down for you:

Merriam Webster.com defines Discipline as:

1: punishment

2: obsolete : instruction

3: a field of study

4: training that corrects, molds, or perfects the mental faculties or moral character

5a: control gained by enforcing obedience or order b: orderly or prescribed conduct or pattern of behavior c: self-control

6: a rule or system of rules governing conduct or activity

To My Fellow Teachers

Why do I do what I do? 

Because I just have to! 

Despite rough days, I live for the ah-ha! moments like 2 weeks ago when two of my students grabbed their parents and literally dragged them over to me and insisted that I pray for them because they were ill. 

One is 3 years old, the other is 6. 

When you don't think they're listening or observing you they are. 

Don't give up!
