Good News Club Quotes

My poor blog is so lonely and abandoned. I shall take pity on it and post some interesting things the kids at Good News Club said today.

A little boy who wanted to be called "Skittles" (kids are weird) prayed before snack today. Here's what he said at the end:

"God, thanks for Brother Mike who started this Good News Club. Thanks that he's not just being lazy..."

Another little boy commented about the song visual I held up at club:

"Miss Jeanne? That kid on the last page looks like Obama!"

He looked at me as if I were conspiring to take down the nation.

I didn't quite know what to say, or why it really matter if the kid on the visual did look like Obama, but I felt I owed him an explanation, or an excuse, before he started accusing me of being a socialist:

"Uh...I'm sure it wasn't intentional..."

A little girl had her own unique view on heaven's benefits:

"Well, if you mess up in heaven, watch out because God might kick you out and throw you down to hell!"

I am always astounded by the heresy that even "church" kids perpetuate. Totally depravity in action, folks. I am always astounded, but not always tactful:

"Uh, no. You cannot "mess up" in heaven..."

I then went on to try and explain the concept of glorification in a way a child would understand. I'm not sure if I succeeded.

I think Good News Club gave me a headache (I know it did), but at least it keeps me entertained.
