2 Questions

If you want to learn what most excites me in my service to my church, just sit through a great discussion during Children’s Church. Rarely do my emotions run from doubled over laughter to tears in such a short time – but these kids do it nearly every week! In line with our pastors current sermon series on Job, I asked the children two questions:

1. How BIG is God?

2. What does God look like?

A few of my favorite answers: “God has big ears so he can hear all of us.” “God wears a skirt, but not like a girl one.” “God is infinity 3 times.” “God has a really big smiley face.” “God looks like what your imagination shows.” “It doesn’t really matter if I learn everything about God, because I really don’t have a good memory.” We talked about not wanting to know everything about the God we serve, so He is always smarter, and stronger – and can take care of us. They said that they didn’t want the mystery to go away… how precious, and honest, and TRUE!

Paper Names

Yesterday during Children's Church we were finishing up a project, and to occupy those who were already done we were guessing eachothers middle names and giving clues. Well it came to mine and I said it started with a P (it's Paige). One child said "Paper" (after they'd already guessed Pretty and Princess!) and I said "Oh you are SOOO close! My middle name is made of paper!"


A first grader twisted up his face and so innocently said, "Cardboard?"

I just rolled! It was adorable - and when they figured out my name he laughed harder at his own joke of Cardboard!
