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.
