Well, my first day teaching my new Sunday School class turned out OK, in my opinion. I've heard that some folks liked it and there's no major uprising to have me removed just yet - at least as far as I know yet... Besides the expected off-topic question, things went pretty smoothly given that I really don't prefer teaching topical lessons and that it contained some VERY challenging passages. Before I get to the passages (and the request for response), I'll say that I managed to accomplish a few things... Most importantly, I think people got something out of...
