Memorial Day, formerly Decoration Day, commemorates U.S. men and women who have died in military service to their country. Some use Memorial Day to also honor any family members who have died. While now we mark this observance on the last Monday in May, originally it was on May 30 - a date that was chosen because it was not the anniversary of a battle. We are a people who love to place monu-

ments for just about anything - or at least "Historical Markers." Repeatedly, God asks us to remember what He has done and warns His people not to forget Him. God, fully understanding human nature, instructed Israel to build various monuments k memorials to Him. His intention was not only to help them remember His mighty deeds of the past, but to inspire them to trust Him in the future.

We're very much like the Israelites - We too need "stones of remembrance" to help us recognize k remember God's work in our lives. Joshua 4:1-9, 20-24 records a call to place 12 stones which were taken from the middle

of the Jordan River as a memorial on the far side as they crossed into the Promised Land. The memorial was to be simple, unpolished, and directly connected with the event. The stones were not terribly impressive in size as each stone could be carried by one man. The vital thing was that this remembrance of God's provision and promise and presence were to be remembered and the meaning faithfully taught. Parents were to tell the children what the stones meant so that they would know that the hand of the Lord is powerful and to always fear the Lord your God. Should the people lose memory of God's help, then die Stones would either revive the remembrance of it or remain a standing witness of their thankfulness.

Memorial stone - living stones - the very lives of those who have become spiritually alive through faith in Jesus Christ. Our faith and witness, like Joshua's memorial in the Jordan, is to be simple ("as a child's"); To be as we are (not something "polished" as the world); To be directly connected to the event (our personal relationship with Christ); and to be based on something that one man could carry - that one man was Jesus. Are we instructing our children as to the meaning of our lives, our living stones, in Jesus so that they would knoWthat the hand of the Lord is powerful and to always fear the Lord your God?

but once the tickets were gone, the kids had to take a small quiz created by the booth's owner in order to participate any more. Jdany of the teachers required their students to study each booth (all 50 states were covered) and learn two facts per state. "I think they had fun because of all the food there," Brelynn Wise, fifth grader, said. Fifth graders, too, had a blast learning about the many states of the United States of America, continu-. ing on to state that they wouldn't mind doing a similar project every year.
