Still having trouble catching up from a few days ago. We had several "extra" things going on at Church - so busy!
What gets me though are the kids in my Sunday school class. I'm still getting to know them. But I still remember and think about the children in my class at the Baptist church almost 20 years ago, though they are all grown up now.
This class is going to keep me on my toes. I have them for less than an hour, and this week they managed to bring up racism, what kind of people go to hell and why, and just what exactly was it that bothered Joseph about his Virgin Mary having a baby, and why was that unusual? Some of those details I don't feel like it's my place to address, lol.
It's walking a fine line giving them enough of an answer (that doesn't lead into more questions), but not too much of an answer.
These children are really curious about the nature of Angels vs. humans, and what exactly exactly happens after you die, and so on.
Our parish council will get settled, and our Nativity pageant will happen (probably with all sorts of cute little quirks), and the dinner will come together, the choir will manage the special songs, and everything else will come together. But these children will keep me on my toes, lol.
Lord have mercy.
