Daniel the Daring Dude! - Jumping Chuteless


This week we made plain ol' paper airplanes and had a contest to see who's would fly the furthest.

Gus came back to visit and was all bandaged up. He told us that he got the nerve up to JUMP, but he forgot one very important thing… the parachute!!! And crashed into earth. (good thing he is made of felt and cloth!) He forgot it behind in all the excitement and busyness of being on the plane. The same thing happens in the Christian life, in the busyness of life we can forget JESUS and it will always result in CRASHES!


Today, Daniel learns that all the king's advisors are being put to death because the king is demanding that they tell him both his dream and its interpretation. Daniel HOLDS on to God's promises, he obeys by allowing God to use him, asks his friends to pray for him, and goes before the king expecting God to deliver them when he gives the answer God gave him. They show that God can do the impossible when we make ourselves available to be used by Him.

We met Miss Molly who has her own cooking program, but she is frustrated this week because she got a recipe to a 'Mystery Meal' and can't make any sence out of it. The directions are to mix a little of this and a little of that, a pinch of other stuff, and mix together with a thing-a-ma-gigger. Poor Miss Molly understood how Daniel must have felt as he was asked by the king to tell him his dream and it's interpretation. How was he to know what someone else dreamed?! But God helped him out!

We finished up by playing with the big parachute, this week we put a bunch of soft balls on it with buckets setting out around outside the circle. The object was to try to get the balls to bounce off of the parachute and land in one of these buckets. It was harder than we thought it would be. : )
