My favorite psalm
Hi 5th Grade,
I love Psalm 51. It has been a Psalm that I have often meditated on and is an amazing reminder of God's forgiveness of my sin.
But, I don't know if this can be considered my "favorite." It's hard to call something a "favorite" when it is a reminder of how sinful I really am! Nonetheless, understanding the story of David (2 Samuel 12:1-23) and his response of saying sorry to God through Psalm 51 is very powerful.
The part I really like in this Psalm is that it isn't just about David saying sorry. It is about his promise to then tell others to turn back to God in verse 13.

Create
in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
so that sinners will turn back to you.
Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
you who are God my Savior,
and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
Open my lips, Lord,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart
you, God, will not despise.
so that sinners will turn back to you.
Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
you who are God my Savior,
and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
Open my lips, Lord,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart
you, God, will not despise.

Word problems related to elapsed time
Today in math class we learned how to solve problems related to elapsed time. Even though time is something we need to deal with everyday, calculating elapsed time mathematically can sometimes be tricky because seconds, minutes and hours are based on a numbering system based of 60 vs more common numbers like 10s and 100s.
Try these and see how you do.
