Sunday School out takes!

So the boys were back in our class today!
They are a wild and crazy handful but so fun.  Their minds are so open but they really have no background in Sunday School at all and it is really obvious at times.
This morning I was teaching about Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead, and these 7 and 8 year olds sat there with all the skepticism of grown men.  As I told the story I heard "he wasn't really dead," and "he was faking."  As I tried to convey the power of our Savior to these young minds, one of them said, "well I don't believe in Jesus."  Of course I deal with children much the same way I deal with adults and told him that was certainly his perogative but he was going to learn about him in Sunday School anyway.
After a yummy doughnut break we sat (or tried to sit) down to watch a cartoon video on the miracles of Jesus.  After flipping over in their chairs a few times and exclaiming "he kicked me in the nuts," we finally got settled in...there was of course a brief interlude where we discussed why we don't talk like that or act like that in church.
The video followed Jesus as he healed the child with Palsy, had the woman with the issue of blood touch his garment and the resurection of the sick girl who had died before Jesus' arrival.  During the scene of Jesus raising the girl fromt he dead, the same disbeliving little boy said, "well I guess I do believe in Jesus."
For all the moments that make me want to pull my hair out that moment makes it all worth it.
Donna and I are going in a bit to procure some supplies...
paper towels...boys spill things.  Girls are to prissy for that.
building stuff...boys don't do crafts, they build things.  There is a very big difference.
snacks...doughnuts make little people big time hyper.  We need something in a mild sedative flavor.
and I am sure there was something else.
Every week is an adventure and one that we have been looking forward to for a long time!  God answers prayers for children, and he will give patience and guidance to Donna and I teach what they need to hear.
