This week in Sunday school it was kind of a mad house. Six kids. Five of them were boys. Two of them were age 3. All of them had their levels cranked to 11. When I finally got them to sit down and listen to the story, it calmed down a bit. There was questionContinue reading “Well, I was six. Once.”

You better get used to this stuff
Other gems from four- and five-year-old Sunday School: Dottie (teacher): God told Abraham and Sarah they would have as many children as there were stars in the sky. How many do you think that is?

Pretty sure that name didn’t appear in the Bible but bonus points for creativity
I’ve signed up to help teach four- and five-year-old Sunday School because I’m a glutton for punishment I enjoyed helping Rachel out when she was teaching last year and the one week I’ve attended so far did not disappoint.

There was only one little kid in there – a little boy named Will – and he talks like a grown-up. She tells us all the time how smart all the kids in thereContinue reading “And that’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown”
