C- Chore you hate: Cleaning the boy’s bathroom at work.Â I’ve not been in there in weeks.

Theology or something like it

Filed under: kids — srose @ 5:37 pm

My class of five year olds continues to amaze me.Â

Last night we were singing “This Little Light of Mine”.Â The kids had a good time *whiffing* on their “lights” to simulate Satan blowing out a candle.Â I wondered if they really understood what that verse meant, so I asked for their thoughts.

Collin said “It means you don’t want to be where Jesus isn’t is.”

And there you have it folks.Â The Gospel according to a preschooler.

I’m going to miss them when they move to first grade.
