“Now then, my children, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways.” Proverbs 8:32
Countless times we have said or heard the words, “Listen to me.” With these words the speakers are indicating they want to say something that, in their opinion, we need to hear.
We also know that sometimes the information is heeded, and other times it falls on deaf ears. In Proverbs 8:22, it is God’s wisdom admonishing us to listen and walk in God’s ways and to be prepared to receive God’s blessings. We can enjoy the happiness of knowing we live in the loving, forgiving hands of the almighty God.
Jesus also tells us to listen …
“Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” (Luke 11:28b)
Because Jesus gave His life for us, paid for our sins on the cross, and rose again from the dead, we will one day be with Him in heaven. In Christ we have the words of eternal life. Now that’s a message worth listening to! (more…)

Mrs. Monica Dierker is the second teacher we are focusing on in our continuing series, “Getting to know our teachers”. Mrs. Dierker assists students in grades 2-8 with reading and math at Our Savior Lutheran School.
My classroom is very unique as I see grades 2-8 on a regular daily basis teaching math and reading in a three hour time frame. My objectives are always to grow each child in their reading and math abilities.
I can do all this through him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13
This passage reminds me that I get my strength from God. Through the many ups and downs in my life God has always been there for me and given me the strength to face everything.
I love watching the students grow in their faith, their learning, and as a person with unique God given gifts and talents.
From what I can remember from this time in my life is that I wanted to be a wife and mother.
I would be a Minnesota Muncher. There are so many different taste layers to this cookie and I look at teaching as unwrapping the layers of learning so that the students continue their learning journey.
John 10:11-18
Psalm 23
“Your Good Sheperd is the guide you Need.”
He gives you every good thing.
He guards you when things go wrong
We’re excited to kick off this series, “Getting to know our teachers”, with Mr. Joel Grulke. Mr. Grulke is our principal and 6th, 7th, and 8th grade teacher at Our Savior Lutheran School.
Our 6th-8th grade classroom is filled with students who will soon be entering high school and a world that will continue to challenge their faith and their morality, as well as produce exciting new discoveries and advancements in technology along with a changing workforce.
Our objectives are to continue to prepare our students for these new experiences and challenges. We do this by equipping them with God’s Word of truth to guide them in decision-making and giving them the necessary academic tools, skills and opportunities to see how the Lord could use them to make a difference in the lives of people they meet by sharing the Gospel.
And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?
Esther 4:14b
This passage is a favorite of mine as it reminds me that while we may think we have nothing meaningful to contribute to various situations in life, God may be leading us to see how He may use us to accomplish His work – especially the proclaiming of the Gospel to save souls for eternity.
As I look at children who may not have a strong self-confidence or see themselves as not being very good at anything, I have the privilege of helping them see how God may have gifted them, and how He might use them and their gifts to carry out His work of spreading the Good News of Christ, our Savior.
What inspires me most about teaching is seeing God’s children respond to His Word and show their love for Him with the talents He has given to them.
I would be a chocolate chip cookie. Not just because it is my favorite cookie, but because it brings back a flood of memories of yummy, warm, chocolaty smells in the kitchen, chocolate messes on my hands and face, my mother letting me add ingredients, helping stir the batter, scooping the batter onto the cookie sheet, teaching me how to make them soft and mushy or thin and crispy, and, of course, letting me sample the batter as well as the final product.
Learning and experiencing at its finest!
When I was in the fourth grade I wanted to be a pastor. In fact, I wanted to be pastor since Kindergarten all the way through my sophomore year in high school. But when I was in fourth grade, I had my first male teacher who had a desire to teach us science through various hands-on failures and successes. He showed us, or should I say privileged us, to see God’s amazing wonders of creation and the laws He enacted to guide the world He created as well as encouraging us to never give up trying to learn something.
As I look back as a teacher today, I see the importance of having both male and female teachers to guide and encourage children to discover and use the gifts that God has given them to serve Him and one another. While I was not a great scientist in the fourth grade – and still am humbled by the vastness of all God placed in our world – I did grow in my faith and understanding of what a marvelous and loving God we have as He cares for us and governs this world for our benefit and blessing. Our children need to know this!
Luke 24:36-49
Acts 12:7
