Chapels are great.  The middle school speaker is Tim Vine.  He is going through the New Testament using the Walk Thru the Bible curriculum.  It is a really good program that teaches students the Bible through catchy phrases and hand motions.

And by the way, our high schoolers had a talent show last night that Anna taped.  Look for that video to come out soon!

It was a lot of fun to see this epic movie over again.  And it was fun to share it with our Middle School students.

To bring home the point, I showed a video of Nick Vujicic. 

In your life, are you finishing strong?
