Time Of Testing – LITERALLY!
One of my recent brainstorms was that I would really love to substitute teach in the Arkansas school district – especially in the schools that are near our church building. I figured it would help me become more known to the children, youth and parents in the area and that can’t be a bad thing especially when you are out and about in the neighborhoods seeking to invite them to church. WELLLLLLLLL – for those who don’t know it – it’s been almost 28 years since I was in high school. To become employed with Texarkana Arkansas School district you must complete a ton of paper work AND take a TEST!!!!!! YIKES! Well, the “testing time” is over and I passed with flying colors but I was scared that I might flunk out since it had been so many years since i had dealt with school – especially “MATH” ! I have never been too good with math but I am horrible at taking a test and answering math questions under pressure. Thankfully I even did well on the math portion of the test. Hopefully in the next two weeks after the background check (think I can pass that one? HMMM! LOL ) I will begin working during the daytime in the school disctrict. Pray for me as I really feel that this will be a big addition to my ministry in the area.
Hope your day is going well and just remember – It might be hard to teach an old dog new tricks but the old dog can still take a test and pass it! Pastor James

Praise God for what you and Cindy are doing in the College Hill neighborhood. I will continue to pray for you and the minstry there.
I know you will also do an awesome job as a sub in the school system. There are so many young people hurting,
and sometimes they just need to know someone cares.
