Getting Spiritually Fit this New Year!

Joe Paprocki Books, Joe's Comings and Goings

I commented a few days ago about the fact that many of us commit to getting physically fit in the New Year and, while there is certainly nothing wrong with that, perhaps it would be even more important to get spiritually fit! My new book, 7 Keys to Spiritual Wellness will help you to do just that.

To be spiritual is to recognize that, in life, there is more than meets the eye. Spiritual wellness enables us to seek the “more.” In my book, I provide 7 enduring and reliable strategies for maintaining a wellness in our spiritual lives so that we can recognize, seek, and embrace the “more” that is God’s grace.

There’s no time like the present to get started and, since my book is not yet available (it will be in just a few weeks and you can pre-order it NOW!), I’ve decided to go ahead and share the introduction and chapter 1 with you, FREE! I hope you enjoy it and I also hope that it whets your appetite for the rest of the book!

Ask all of your students to stand up and, on the count of three, to point north. Inevitably, there is some confusion…not all have their bearings! Explain that we can rely on a compass to help us get a sense of direction. Make a simple home-made compass. You will need a magnet, a sewing needle, a shallow aluminum baking pan filled with water, and a small piece of Styrofoam (2 in. x 2 in.) Hold […]

Joe Paprocki Intermediate Grades, Scripture

Here’s the third installment of a summary of this past Monday’s session on Abraham and God’s plan for salvation. About a half-hour into the session, after prayer and reviewing the previous session (and a ton of Q & A!), I then arranged the kids in pairs and assigned them a passage about Abraham that they were to read in their Bibles and report on (using this worksheet). As I suspected, they were loathe to move […]
