Not sure of the original source of this but got it today from Dr. Robert Anderson, my dean at University of South Florida.
------------
Then Jesus took his disciples up the mountain and gathered them around him, and taught them saying:
Blessed
are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven,
Blessed
are the meek,
Blessed
are they that mourn,
Blessed
are the merciful,
Blessed
are those who thirst for justice,
Blessed
are you when persecuted,
Blessed
are you when you suffer,
Be
glad and rejoice for your reward is great in heaven.
Then Simon Peter said,
“Do we have to write this down?”
“Are we supposed to know this?”
“Will we have a test on this?”
“I don’t have any paper.”
“Do we have to turn this in?”
“The other disciples didn’t have to learn this.”
“Can I go to the boy’s room?”
“What does this have to do with real life?”
Then, one of the Pharisees asked to see one of Jesus’ lesson plans and inquired of Jesus.
“Where are your intended learning outcomes?”
And Jesus wept.
