Thanks, Miss Woodson

Judith Ann Hardy

Thank you, Miss Woodson, wherever you are.

Miss Woodson was a Sunday School teacher I used to have. She was big on making us find God's promises in the Christian Science weekly Bible Lessons, found in the Christian Science Quarterly, and then memorize them. "You'll need these," she kept telling us. "There will be lots of times when you'll find yourselves in a predicament" (a favorite word of hers, meaning "trouble"). "But you'll have God's promises to hold on to if you memorize them now." She'd say this almost every Sunday.

She was tough. I mean, if we hadn't done our assignment before we came on Sunday, she'd have us find a promise during class and memorize it right there. Then we had to say it for her three times in a row before we left Sunday School that day. So we'd try to pick short, easy ones.
