1&2 Kings rolling along

I had a couple of weeks off, but am back into it now.

I've pretty much finished writing the workbooks (easy peasy with my new font!) - 3 levels - pre-reader, early reader, reader.

I've written a song - Jesus, ten out of ten!

I still need to make a map - like this one, but just Israel.

Still need to script all the lessons (sounds huge, but I know where they are headed)

Still need to work on set and visuals - but I have helpers for this.

Still need a set of royal jokes for our court jester to amuse the kids with.  Can anyone help with this?

All good.  And we don't start teaching till the end of January!

  1. What do you call a beer glass full of cream cheese?

    A Philly-Stein!


    What did Ahab say to Jezebel when she ran over Naboth on her Harley?

    Jez! A bell is necessary on a bike!

    I'm sure I could come up with more, this kind of comedy gold came from merely a few moments thought.

  2. Hmmm...

    How's about...

    Why did Ahab kick Elijah out of Jerusalem?
    Because he was running a non-prophet organisation!

  3. Hmmm, those kind of jokes won't get the non-readers or early readers...

  4. Wendy, all I can say is that I'm a firm believer in the enlightening power of the Holy Spirit.

    Even in Old Testament jokes.

    Nevertheless, in an effort to assuage your skepticism, I will attempt more.

    Why did Rehoboam's wedding ring cost so much?
    Because his finger was thicker than his father's waist!

    Ahem. And further:

    Why did all the stoners protest against King Josiah?
    He destroyed all the high places.

    And, my best yet: (That's just a grandiose precursor. I haven't even made the joke up yet)

    A pokemon trainer walks into a bar. The bartender is shocked to see how old and ragged his clothes are. This is one trainer that is clearly down on his luck.

    "Here son," he says. "Have this one on me."

    "Thanks," says the trainer. "Any chance of one for my poke-mon?"

    "Well, I guess you do seem like you'd need it."

    So the trainer took out a gold poke-ball and pressed the button. And instead of a pokemon, at the bar stood what looked like a movie star, with the most expensive clothes imaginable.

    "Whoa!" said the bartender. "I thought you were down on your luck. What's with this guy's clothes?"

    "Oh, he's just my Solo-mon."

    Bud-um, tish.
    *bows*

    :P

  6. Yes. That's it! Richard C. is our court jester. Perhaps the two of you should get together...
