Niki Knack’s Gritty Journal of AdventuringI Don’t Remember What I Forgot

I forgot. And worse, I forgot what I forgot. The day started like any normal Tuesday: drop Kiwi off at the dojo to teach ninja class, water the tree house, shop for inventing supplies, and . . . what was I forgetting?

As I stood in line at Inventor’s Depot the feeling got stronger. “What is it, Niki?” I asked myself. People next to me in line looked at me. Oops. I guess I said that out

loud—awkward. The last time I talked to myself out loud was when my cousin Patty and I were building the—that was it! Patty was coming to visit today and I totally forgot!

I put my two dozen twirly sprockets back on the shelf and said, “I gotta get! I’ll be back!” I ran out the front door of Inventor’s Depot, hopped in my Zip Pod, and turned

__ o __ __ u n __ o n : Eating bread and drinking juice to remember how Jesus died on the cross. It helps us remember how much Jesus loves us. We do this together at church to remember what Jesus did for all of us.

John 20:1-18

In his very nature he was God. Jesus was equal with God. But

Jesus didn’t take advantage of that fact. Instead, he made himself

nothing. He did this by taking on the nature of a servant. He was made just like human beings.

Philippians 2:6-7 (NIrV)

For the LORD is the great God, the great King above all gods.

In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands

formed the dry land.

Psalm 95:3-5 (NIV)

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that

whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save

the world through him.

John 3:16-17 (NIV)

I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust

in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the

power of the Holy Spirit.

4. What’s This Say about God?5. What’s This Say about Us?

What’sA. It was still dark Sunday morning and Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw the stone had been moved. She went running to Peter and John and said, “They took the Lord from the tomb!”

B. Peter and John raced to the tomb. John got there first, but when Peter arrived he went right into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there and the head wrapping folded and set apart.

C. John went in, saw the linen, and believed. (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus would rise from the dead.)

D. The disciples went back to where they were staying, but Mary stayed at the tomb. As she wept she looked in the tomb and saw two angels in white seated where Jesus’s body had been. They asked her, “Why are you crying?”

E. “They have taken my Lord’s body!” Then she turned around and Jesus was standing there, but she did not recognize Him.

F. He asked her, “Why are you crying? Who are you looking for?” She thought He was the gardener and said, “If you have taken the body, tell me where so I can bring Him back to the tomb.”

G. Jesus said to her, “Mary.” When He said her name she realized it was Jesus and cried out, “Teacher!”

H. Jesus said, “Do not cling to me. I am not going to the Father yet. But go and tell my disciples that I will be going to my Father.”

Mary went to the disciples with the good news: “I have seen the Lord!”

the key. Brrrzz. Plop. Nothing. It wouldn’t start! I guess it wasn’t fixed. But I had to keep moving, so I just started running back to the tree house. I sprinted past the Coughing Cactus Water Park and Big Sugar’s Cereal Buffet. Then I spotted a taxi toucan flying above. Perfect!

I gave a whistle and jumped in the air. The taxi toucan swooped down and let me grab her talons. We soared over Pancake Castle, Lasers-R-Us, the University of Bravery and Accomplishment, and right to our tree house. I

tossed the taxi toucan a tip as she lowered me to the front door just in time to see Patty pull up!

“Well, twist-a-knot-in-my-pink-hair!” I yelled. “It’s so good to see you!”

“Hi cousin!” Patty said. “I brought my own bed sheets!” One thing about my cousin—Patty loves her linens. She held up her sheets and said, “I always take my squirrel-themed linens everywhere I go—can’t sleep without them.” I love Patty.
