STEP BACK

                During our almost nightly bible study, Sonny Boy shared with me a situation that happened at school.  Don't get caught up on the bible study.  It is only five minutes, but it is what takes place after those five minutes that is by the grace of God.  That is, talk time.  It just happens. And I just go with it.  
         Anyhow, he shared that yesterday, in Global class each student had to do a presentation on a timeline.  The person with the best presentation would get 3 extra points on their grade. Now, Sonny Boy forgot about the assignment and was not prepared.  So when his name was called he got up, went to the front of class with his I-pad in hand.  He sat the I-pad on the desk. Pulled up pandora on the screen and began to play smooth jazz music.  He then began talking about the little he remembered about the timeline.  
       But then he started pointing to students to answer questions about the timeline.  During that time it was hilarious because some were prepared and others weren't.  And he was able to get through his presentation from the information pulled from the students.  
      At the end of his presentation, the other students were thrilled and said that they were voting for him to win.
     At the end of class when all had left he went to the teacher and asked not to receive the prize if selected.  I asked him why? Sonny Boy shared that there were students in class who worked hard on their presentation and did what they were suppose to do.  Then he really blessed me when he shared that there were other students whose grade was lower than his, who would need the extra points.  And, that he didn't spend any time on his presentation, he just did it on a whim so he didn't feel he should take that away from the others.
CAN I GET A SHOUT FOR VICTORY IN THE LORD ON THAT ONE!
