As some of you know, one of the many roles I play at DP is that of a teacher. I teach English every morning, between 2 different classes. One of the “classes” actually only consists of 2 girls, and I laughed when I heard the names of the girls who had been assigned to my class: Mary and Martha.
If you’re not familiar with the Bible, there is a story in it where Jesus goes to visit 2 sisters, and their names happen to be none other than Mary and Martha (though these girls I teach are not related). Sometimes if there is time left over at the end of class, I’ll get one of the children’s Bibles and we’ll read a story. The first one I was dying to share with them was the story of Mary and Martha.
The girls loved it. They weren’t familiar with the story, and their eyes lit up when I told them there was a story in the Bible with their very names.
