AH, THE SWEET SENTIMENTS
OF SUNDAY SCHOOL AT CHRISTMASTIME
Maddy, 9, walked out of Sunday School with a great, big smile on her face. At this time of year, I figured her class had just spent the hour singing Christmas carols or making ornaments or something. I thought she was filled with the Christmas spirit.
But nooooo. Here's what she said:
"I CAN'T WAIT TO BURN ANTS AGAIN NEXT SUMMER!!!"
Our church is not into weird doctrine. Believe me, we are NOT for burning ants. All that happened was that she noticed it was no longer summer, and she couldn't wait for summer to come back, and one reason was so that she could get out her magnifying glass and see what mayhem she could create in the garden.
What made her think of it? She didn't know.
Not very Christmasy! But there you go. These kids have ants in their pants, mentally, don't they?

Take Maddy to "A Christmas Carol" movie to put her in the Christmas Spirit.(Unless she is easily scared by ghosts, etc.)Maybe all this snow will do the trick. Good thing she doesn't go to Columbian Elementary School in Omaha. Their "winter" choral music program had not a single Christmas carol! Kid you not.
Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
