Ten High School needs to start the Year With.

A listing of 10 items followed that-if i remember right- were on the school supply needs for my high school-er:

• In style book bag or back pack. You play this to their individual desire, style and tastes.
• A good number of sharpened pencils.( They really go through these.) Probably a dozen to start with is recommended.
• Several pens: a good blue and black set. Perhaps one in red.
• A package of college ruled paper.
• 2 or three notebooks.
• A Binder. ( again one that fits the individual style of you son and daughter keeps joy in the household)
• A pencil sharpener.
• Pencil and perhaps pen (do they work?) erasures.
• A yellow highlighter.Kleenex and number 10: Hand sanitizer.

10 Elementary School Supplies.

If I remember right these are ten essential supplies I will be picking up in the near future for my y soon to enter 3rd grade student. Hopefully I can get a jump start:

1. No. 2 pencils. Probably at least 4 up to a dozen. The year prior would you believe the first stop I made had no No. 2 pencils. I almost just bought another type. was so frustrating, especially when you would thing an office and school supply would carry the standard. I went somewhere else and purchased the correct ones.
2. Erasures to pair up with the pencils. I like the pink ones. Usually get two. I do not recommend the top of pencil type since they get dirty quickly.
3. Of course the yearly backpack. Has to be different then the previous years.
4. Paper: the wider spaced.
5. Colored Pencils, markers and or crayons. (The small count will probably work.)
6. School Glue
7. Scissors applicable to your child's age.
8. A pencil box to put it all in. (Excluding the paper of course.)
9. Hand sanitizer
10. A package of tissues. If each child brings one the whole class can share one or two packages for the whole year.
    

Hope this helps and you do not receive any overnight surprises needed on the list they receive on that first day home.

The Biblical Tabernacle and the 4 Gospels Cont.

Exodus 27: 9-16
We covered the tabernacle as a type of Jesus Christ. It's outward plainness, but the beauty of the curtains made the way into this building. What the curtain colors represented: Blue: Heaven, Purple: Royalty, Red: Redemption or salvation if you will and fine twined Linen: Righteousness.
These curtains were set on 4 pillars and sockets=the 4 Gospels of which the way to salvation, righteousness, to God and heaven hang on. The gate, the way to enter.

1. Matthew is the gospel of the king: this is the purple way into the tabernacle. If you want to reach God and be part of his royal family you need to be born into the King's family-be his seed.
2. Mark is the gospel of the suffering servant. the red curtains stands for the cross of suffering this servant bore for us. the crimson blood he shed.
3. Luke is the gospel of the Son of Man. Jesus Christ was the only righteous man. through his righteousness we become righteous. this is the white linen of the curtain. And
4. John: Jesus Christ the Son of God-Blue-Our connection to heaven. He came down from Heaven for us.

The Biblical Tabernacle and the 4 Gospels

Exodus 27: 9-16
The outer covering of the Tabernacle in the wilderness was of ugly non attractive badger skins all the way around except for the gate. See our scripture reference.
Isiah 53:2. the tabernacle was a picture of the savior Jesus Christ: "He hath no form or comeliness and when we shall see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire him."
All except the gate: His life and inward beauty. Matthew 7:13: Enter ye in at the strait gate. John 10:1. He is the only door. There was no other way into the tabernacle but through this gate.. any one that tried to get in, or tries to get in any other way is a thief and robber.
This gate had four colors. these colors had 4 meanings and each represented one of the four gospels.

1. Blue=Heaven
2. Purple = Royalty
3. Scarlet=Redemption
4. Fine twined Linen=Righteousness

These 4 hung as a beautiful curtain which was the only way into the tabernacle. These hung on 4 pillars and 4 sockets which represent 4 Gospels: (am out of room so will continue in a following blog.)
