Kids worship at Grace

I've been helping Miss Stephanie and Mr Tom with Kids Worship at church lately. I've been doing the bible lessen often. A lot of parents are doing a lot of stuff right with their kids. It never ceases to amaze me how much Bible knowledge the kids have.

Whatever I can do to help them retain the knowledge they have, add more and make it fun... I will

Thank You God! for kids.

This morning's skit at church

This morning's skit (drama) at church was especially moving to me.

It was cute. It was funny. I really enjoyed it. It kept me 'hooked' all the way through. It was 'right on'.

It was about a college student come home to break the news that she had decided to drop out of college to go into 'the ministry'.

Her parents assumed all the wrong things as they were trying to guess what this important thing was that she had come home to tell them. They then [more or less] lost it to realize their daughter had decided to go into the 'ministry'

As a parent of 3 college graduates (one of which has also completed seminary) I have to say that I am so so so so dad-gummed proud that they all want to be in the 'ministry'.

May God bless them richly as they follow His call on their lives.

The Children of Israel

"Mr. Goldblatt," announced little Joey, "there's something I can't figure out." "What's that, Joey?" asked Goldblatt." Well, according to the Bible, the Children of Israel crossed the Red Sea, right?" "Right." "And the Children of Israel beat up the Phillistines, right?" "Well, ah, right." "And the Children of Israel built the Temple, right?" "Again you're right." "And the Children of Israel fought the Egyptians, and the Children of Israel fought the Romans, and the Children of Israel were always doing something important, right?" "All that is right, too," agreed Goldblatt. "So what's your question?" "What were all the grown-ups doing?"
