Anyway, i made a page for the talent parable but im not finshed with the parable yet but you cause can read it its not that good cause i thought it was going to be do tomorrow. But anyway i have worked on it. I hope you guys think it is funny. Sometimes things that i do and made a funny. Like today i came into to science class acting drunk and say stuff like you gotta go and put me in a box and cut my head off. And then i randomly started clapping during class anyway i do some werid stuff. But people love me anyway some of my friends say thats part of the reason they love me. =====

At that time the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten students at school. Five foolish, and five wise. The foolish ones didn't do their assignment that was due that day. But the wise, completed their assignment and checked it over to make sure that it was correct. As the bell rang the foolish students rushed into the classroom, and the wise were already there waiting. (Go on- if you're not sure, mail me- I have a pretty good idea!) =====

I hope you guys had a good weekend and dont forget that mother's day is next sunday so get or make something for your mom. ===== thanks $ monkeygirl $

**Explaining the Parable of the Ten Virgins:** The message of the Parable of the Ten Virgins is to always be ready, because you never know when the Son of God will return. Don’t think, “Oh, I’ll obey God when I’m older… but now I want to have fun and misbehave! Anyways, God will forgive me!” No. It doesn’t work like that. What will happen, then, if Jesus comes when your “not a follower yet”? Then what? Just like the five virgins you would be very foolish and unprepared and unworthy. Jesus tells us to always be ready, because no one, not even the prophets, know when the end will come. =====

IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO ADD MORE PAGES ONTO OUR WIKI PLEASE DO SO!!! I THINK WE NEED 1 FOR OUR FINAL DRAFTS AND 1 FOR BRAINSTORMING, 1 FOR US RETELLING THE TEN VIRGINS TOGETHER... AND THIS 1 FOR MISCELLANEOUS!

=
Ashely, I'm soooooooooo sorry... you were right. The Parable of the Talents //does// mean that you should use your talents to be a blessing to others... and stuff like that... sorry! (if you need any notes or help... I have A LOT!! :)) =====

Mr. Jacklin told us that when he talked to your class on skype (or something like that) that you all said that you wanted to do it that way (where each person does one parable)... but if you don't feel comfortable doing that... then we can work something else out. It's just, I thought that it would be easier if we each did one parable by ourselves (but we would still ask questions, verify, add on, help, etc.) since some people (cough cough- me) would (NOT PURPOSELY) do more than their share, that would be a good way to prevent that and let everyone work!! :) Of course we would all come together to retell the Parable of the Ten Virgins (we all agreed on that, right?... i'm pretty sure... yes). I think that it would take longer if we all would work on them together.. and like you said (and totally agree with you) we really need to get this done early!!! Okay, thanks!!! :) ===== Jill

Ok. Well thanks for the youtube ink and I will check it out and it could possibly be easier to work in a group on all of them so we can understand them all cause one that you understand I might have no clue what your talking about so I think we should work more as a group and less by our selfs. But you know it is up to the whole group not just one person. =====

Yes... you can do talents! but make sure that your explaining the parable, not telling why having talents is important! back then, a talent money (being worth the amount of silver or gold), not the talents that you may be thiniking of like singing, acting, drawing, being funny, flexable, ...etc. Lauren, whichever one you want to do is fine with me, I'll do the other... so i guess we can all work on 1 and then come together to retell the ten virgins... lauren, i think that you have notes on the wedding banquet- so i guess you'll want to do that! so, i'll do do the ten virgins. if anyone needs help, or doesn't like this arrangement, just say, and we can find a way for everything to work out! of course we will get it done before then... don't worry! :) I put a link to you tube to a video that explains the parable of the talents... you can watch it to give you a better understanding of the parable! [] =====

Ok. I think that is a wondereful idea. I could do the talents part if you guess are ok with it cause I could write pages about it. Ok well we got to get started soon cause on may 9 i have to go to hershey park for a competion. And i dont want to be worrying about what grade were going to get on our project cause i have a good grade in mrs.durff's class and i dont want that to change that. Well i guess our parables are going to be ten virgins, talent, and the wedding banquet. Am i right? =====

=
Cool, do you have any more that you want to do? I think that we're all good with talents... I want to explain the ten virgins to a teenager in 2009... it seem like that would be easy... I have notes on talents, wedding banquet, and ten virgins... so, we're all good on explaining them! if you have any notes, you can share too! =====

=
Okay. Well for our group project I have thought up some ideas and think that we should at less do the talents parable because I could write pages about thats and all kind of stuff. First, my real name ia ashley. I am 13 and i am in 7th grade. I love to hang out with my friends but when it comes to doing work am there and working but my friends are different. They play around so thats why im not in their group and stuff. =====

On this page please write which 3 parables you want to do. Please make there be a total of 6 or higher (extra credit is good, but if we end up not having enough time, that's okay too!). We need to make notes on what 3 we want to do (and decide), how we are going to explain them, and how we are going to explain 1 of the 3 to a teenager in 2009. (Remember to put ANY ideas of what you know or think they might mean on this wiki.) Please post any ideas here... we sould also have a set date to get it completed... we have till May 6th (my b-day)... so, let's get it done AT LEAST a week before then. Any time before would be GREAT!!! ===== === hey that sounds great, I agree that we should get it done early. I like all the parables so if we want to get the most extra credit we should do what ever we can to get it! hey I don't realy understand how the level of points work, will you exsplain that more. thanks! what are our choices for explaining them to a teenager? does anyone else have any creative options? cool thanks girls!!! === === I at least want to do the wedding banquet (maybe for retelling) because we're learning about that in religion and our teacher is explaining it... :) I have notes on lots of things... some things are easy to desifer also... this won't be too hard! Lauren, I'm sure you take notes, too. Feel free to write them all on here-monkeygirl, if you have some too, please share!!! We are going to learn about the Parable of the Ten Virgins soon... I added 4 links... 2 explaining the Parable of the Ten Virgins, 1 explaining the Parable of the Talents, and 1 explainig the Parable of the Wedding Banquet! ===

Lauren, we're supposed to pick 3 in all- we "translate" all of them, and retell one of them to a teenager in 2009.
=== Wedding Banquet Notes: Jesus (Son) died for everyone (or, gave evryone wedding clothes) but some didn't accept (Jews). The Jews are the chosen people, we are the people on the street corners who were originally not invited. Wedding clothes= forgivness. Invited=chosen (like I said before, Jews). God=King. Jesus=Son. Person who did not accept wedding clothes= person who did not want to spend eternal life w/ God. I think the servant are like the disciples who spread the Word... but I'm not positive... === Hey jill do you just want me to take notes in religon class? That is fine with me. So we are doing the parable of the weeds, parable of the hidden treasure, and the pearl. thanks lauren. also does monkeygirl know how to get onto our wikispace? what is here real name? **I think we should do the Wedding Banquet, Ten Virgins, and Talents. Yes!!! That would be great, please take notes- I will too, because you might have some that I don't or vis versHhey**

Hey jill could i just like make a picture on paint!!! I would try to retell the story in todays time?? is that ok with you? if so I will work on it next computer class or some time soon!
