The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe!

Have you ever wondered what would happen if God was not with you? Have you ever wondered when God had a beginning? When will God have an end? NEVER, because God conquered sin! God is stronger than any force. He will be with us forever! God never had a beginning, and he will never have an end! In the book, The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, The White Witch (Satan) killed Aslan (God). Aslan overcame death so we can be clean of sin. God can always break up the fight. God is a living lamppost, that we should follow. God wants us to believe in Him without seeing Him.

God can always break up the fight. In the book, The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, They had a war. Aslan and the kids V.S. The Witch and her mob. Aslan turned himself in to the witch even though he did not have to. God had a choice to die. He had the power to stop it, but when he died he saved us. God is too big and too strong to mess with.

God is a living lamppost that we should follow. When Lucy found the lamppost it felt like it was a big part of the book. We have a choice if we want to follow the light or if we want to follow the ways of the world.

God wants us to believe in Him without seeing Him. The beavers told the kids about Aslan, they believed that Aslan was real. If you believe in God you will go to heaven. God wants you to know God is real, not see that God is real.

No force is stronger than God. God can always break up the fight. God is a living lamppost, and God wants us to believe in him without seeing. As I say this I realize that God is all things, except BAD!

 

 

Wisdom vs. Intelligence

Wisdom
– Being wise is knowing the right thing to do with what you have.
– Being wise can also be choosing right vs. wrong.
– Wisdom is something you can’t see. It is something you have.

Intelligence
– Having intelligence is having smarts.
– Being intelligent means you know facts, not necessarily problem solving.

Solomon was very wise in the choices he made. God gave him a choice for anything he wanted. Solomon chose wisdom for a good benefit. God gave him riches and animals because of Solomon’s good answer.

We can help others make right choices.

Market Day Pitch

Enjoy our Pitch!

List three highlights of the pitch:

  •  I thought we did very good on presenting our product.
  • We got a deal from Mr. TenHaken.
  • Mr. TenHaken gets to change the name of Slushie Buddy. (He sounds like a funny and creative guy so we like having him on our side!)

List three possible improvements:

  •  We should have asked to go first so that our slushies didn’t melt.
  •  We could have read a little bit slower.
  •  We could have told more about our product in our presentation.

How would you prepare if you had to do this again?

  • I think we could have made our pitch a little longer.

What advice would you give next year’s 4th Grade students

  • Make a good quality product.
  • Do something nobody has done before.
  • Do your best!
