Place yourself in Johnny Tremain's shoes. Imagine it is you who has been handed a bible with certain verses already picked out that will somehow illuminate something about you that could be improved. Remember that for Johnny, these verses didn't speak to the color of his eyes or his height, but rather they spoke to his arrogance and pride. What would the message hidden in the scripture be for you? Please post your answer as a comment on this page. Once you've completed your initial post, comment on at least one other response. I don't have to remind you to be courteous and kind in all of your interactions. Deadline: September 3rd by 10 pm.

I think that my bible verse would be something on being quiet. I need to learn to be quiet in times that are important. I have been trying to clean up my act and I feel I have gotton better about being quiet and more respectful when others are talking.
ReplyDelete-ivy english
I think that would be a hard one for everyone.
DeleteMe too! haha
DeleteI need to work on that too! :)
Deletemy scripture would probably be on being kind to others. I find myself nice but I guess sometimes I can be kind of rude to others when I get aggravated. I hope im nice to you :)
ReplyDeleteI don't even know if I am doing this right but anyway... Taylor I think I am the same way. I think sometimes I can be mean to people too. Hope I get better at it. Bye guys.
DeleteTaylor even though you can be rude, its normal. it can be fixed but, you really have to work on it and i believe that everyone is rude when there angry. its just because when your angry your focused on that one thing that made you angry, so you forget to be polite to others. So dont blame yourself for it, it is in human nature.
Deleteummm mrs suwinski i didnt understand this part or what courteous means, but im guessing it means to be kind, so i guessed the reply to someone else's work was this but if not alert me and ill fix thanks, Sincerly Chase Tweedell
You are nice to me Taylor;) but all of us could work on that!
DeleteI think that if i read the scriptures they would say that i need to be wise with my words because they can hurt others. I have been working on that and will continue to because words can hurt and they can always be switched around to a different story.
ReplyDeleteMy Bible verse would be on worrying. I need to stop worrying and trust God that He has everything under control. Psalm 56:3- When I am afraid, I will trust You.
ReplyDeleteme too!!!! :)
DeleteSometimes when I get really worried about little things, I find it helps to just relax and focus on the things that are truly important in life, like my awesome friends and family.
DeleteMy verse would say to giv it your all at all times no matter what it may be.
ReplyDeleteMine would probably be about the same thing as Johnny's, pride. Except not in skill with hands, but in skill with the mind. I'm a little arrogant sometimes because I'm a bit smarter than some others, but I try to be as humble as I can. Except with Mrs. Suwinski, because she knows I'm joking. I think...
ReplyDeleteI do! Except when you aren't :)
DeleteI guess my bible verse would be on the golden rule.The golden rule states that if you treat others right then you should get the same in return.
ReplyDeleteMy scripture would probably be about not worrying so much because it is the devils work. I need to work on seeing the positive. Realizing I am not here for me to loose sleep over a test but to live for Jesus Christ. It is definitely easer said than done but I am working on it. :)
ReplyDeletei believe my bible verse would be about my negative attitude. i would change the way I look at things and try a more positive way of doing things...
ReplyDeleteMy scripture would be on patience. I need to learn to slow down and let God handle things at His own time. I need to take a breath and wait.
ReplyDeleteHi. Well I think my scripture would be about respect. Sometimes I notice that I don't fully respect my teachers and I am trying to get better at it. I am in a bad mood a lot in the mornings and sometimes that reflects on my additude, but the teachers have to get and be there too so I'm trying to respect them more. Bye guys.
ReplyDeleteIf there were a bible scripture for me it would go a little like this I need to be more patient with others in a group or family and not get angry when they want to do something different then what I want to do. It is not all about me.It ruins the fun of the outing when I act like that.
ReplyDeleteMy bible verse would most likely be about keeping my cool. I loose my temper too quick and I've been told that many times before. So mine would be about being polite and staying calm all the time.
ReplyDeleteI think all of us could work on that. A lot of us get worked up about little things.
Deletemy scripture would probably be about my work ethics. im pretty lazy and when it comes to work, most of the time if its not fun, then i become lazy. i think it would say that need to pick up the pace and stop being so lazy.
ReplyDeleteIm the same way.:) I tend to never want to do anything but what I want to do. I think a lot of us are the same way in many things.
DeleteMy bible verse would be on being a smart-mouth, or thats what my dad calls it. I know sometimes when I get mad, I tend to say things in a smart manor but its not just when im mad its also when im joking. This is a bad thing because someone could take it seriously and it might offend them. I really need to work on this but it will take a while to break the habit.
ReplyDeleteMy scripture would be about judging people. Sometimes I put a label on someone like "she's mean" or "he's weird" , but you can't judge a book by its cover . I know for a fact that the Bible has plenty to say about that!
ReplyDeleteWe all tend to do this at times... :)
DeleteMine would probably say something about how I need to learn to stick with my long-time goals instead of leaving them halfway done to try something new. (like keeping up with my stretches each night that will make me a better dancer!)
ReplyDelete-Alina Jablonski
I feel the same way. If I could keep to something I might be able to become really good at it.
DeleteMy verse would be about being thankful. We all have so many things in our lives but do we ever sit and think about what it would be like if that useful item or person wasn't there. Once something is gone we actually start to realize how much we depended on it.
ReplyDelete- Anne M.
This is the one thing that I really need to work on too Anne Marie!!!!!
DeleteI agree! There are so many things in our lives to be thankful for!
DeleteI agree! There are so many things in life to be thankful for!
Deletei think mine would need to be patience. i am very impatient and i try to work on it though at times it can be very difficult. but i need to learn to calm down and let God do his work. :)
ReplyDeleteI think mine would need to be giving people a chance. If people don't like somebody i usually won't try to get to know them because I would want people to like me. So I should learn to try to get to know somebody before I judge them.
ReplyDeleteI believe my verse would be to love thy neighbor. I am really going to try to treat others how I want to be treated. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself... Leviticus 19:18 :)
ReplyDeletemine would be on being kind to others too. bc like when i get a little mean sometimes :|
ReplyDeletemine would be on being kind bc i can sometimes get mean
ReplyDeleteMine would be being thankful to others. Because you do not want to b e ungrateful.
ReplyDeleteMine would be on judging people. I think I make judgements too early on people I dont even know.
ReplyDeleteMine would be something about judging people. I think sometimes I make judgment too quickly on people I dont even know.
ReplyDeleteMine would be similar to Johnny's. I am very narcissistic and I have too much pride in myself and my family. I know it is bad but old habits die hard.
