 Posted: 05/20/04 - 15:03 Post subject: Coolness, I was asked to be our school's closing program
speaker.
15 minute talk on any topic I wanted.
I am using the character Elijah from the Old Testament and talking about his character and how important a good character is for today's youth. I am going to look at Elijah's attributes and strengths, as well as his weakness and bring it all together around the theme of character.
It will be pretty cool, even our Pastor (whose son I teach) will be there so he can listen to me talk and he can sleep during my "sermon"

If this a religious school? If it is a public school, teaching about the bible may not be taken very well with all the participants.

Oh yeah. It is a private Christian school. If it were a public school, I would use a more PC person or fairytale/fable to illustrate my point.

Plug the site I mean. A Freudian slip if you will.
