My classes today finished studying
the seven I AM statements Jesus made in the Gospel of John. If you aren't
familiar with them, here they are!
I am the bread of life.
I am the true vine.
I am the good shepherd.
I am the gate for the sheep.
I am the light of the world.
I am the resurrection and the life.
I am the way, the truth, and the life.

I
gave my students the assignment of coming up with their own I AM statements which
would define them. Tonight, I am posting some of them, a combination of middle

in pink!
