OLD ORDER MENNONITE SCHOOL HOUSE








When Bishop Eli, Emma and I were driving around, he took me past this school.  Four pictures of the school.  Then the boy and girl outhouses, which I had to use while I was there.  I went in the girls outhouse.  Next are the swings.  Next are the bicycle stand.  Last was this stone arrangement.

A very nice, clean, orderly school and yard. An interesting arrangement of rocks. I am guessing the children decided to set it up in that way?

Good Morning Vickie,

Those schools are always nice, clean and orderly. I wondered about the rocks. Eli said that the big stone was probably there when they built the school. He believes that the main stone they have as the Lord. The three stones are the top are the trinity- The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Surrounding the main stone are 12 stones which are for the 12 apostles.

Good Morning Tom,

I agree, they always do.

Good morning! How much "white stuff" did your area get?
Might this school be the one David+Jean's kids attend?
Thanks Bishop Eli for your explanation of the apparent(to me anyway)witness of the Lord. He alone is our Rock in Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The 12 stones representing the 12 tribes of Israel and the 12 Apostles. The very rocks cry out in witness to the Lord, our God. Amen! Many blessings, Carol

Good Morning Carol,

We got about 3 or 4 inches of snow yesterday. No, that is not the school David and Jean's kids attend. I had their school on a while ago. When I saw those stones, they looked like stones to me, but I thought maybe they meant something. So glad Bishop Eli was with me, to explain what they meant.

On another part, their toilets outside are outhouses. When I went in there, they are spotless, too.

Blessings to you and yours,
Marilyn
