Teaching Sunday School

Well I did not have to have my arm twisted too hard but I am teaching 2nd grade Sunday School with Tracey. It is Jack's class so that is good. Tracey and I kind of got quilted into doing it. If we did not do it then every other week there would be no one else to do it. People think....you guys are teachers you like kids...PPPPLLLLEEEEAAAASSSSSEEEEEEE!

Here is the deal. We deal with kids all week. That is what we do for a profession. We love children and want to make a difference or we would not have chosen that field. But you need a break from it. You especially need a break from those type of children that are "special." Now don't kid yourself...Tracey is doing the teaching and I am the materials guy and crowd control man. I did take over and do the closure activity last week but all the prep work fell to Tracey.

Think of it this way....you are a data entry person for your career. You spend anywhere from 45 to 55 hours a week working on data entry. Not only that but you spend about 3 hours on the weekend getting ready for your data entry next week. ARE YOU GOING TO BE STOKED TO DO DATA ENTRY FOR YOUR CHURCH FOR COUPLE OF HOURS EVERY OTHER WEEK???? Probably not.

But since no one else is jumping in there out of the more than 4,000 active members here we are....

I like spending time with Jack. The girls in the class are great. Most of the boys are fine. We have two boys that need attitude realignment therapy. The part of the alphabet we had had 14 kids in it while the other class had 7. Hopefully we can balance that out a bit.
