Thank you for flying Church of England, cake or death?

"People are going, 'Remember kids, Jesus died for your sins.'
'Yeah, I know, it's great.'
'No, it's bad.'
'It's bad. lt's terrible. Whatever you want. Just keep giving me these eggs.'"

Thanks to the bizarro weather and rolling blackouts of late, the other Sunday School teacher that has been training us was unable to make it to class yesterday morning. A pipe in her house froze and the water to her house had to be cut off. And since she hadn't showered and the plumber was "hopeful" he'd be able to make it to her house on Sunday, Trevor and I were on our own.

So, armed with a giant bag of candy, a flashlight, two cups of coffee and a promise from my husband that he would do all the praying, Trevor and I prepared to teach 1-3 graders about being salt and light. I am pretty sure the kids that came (all TWO of them) left thinking that Jesus literally wants them to be pint sized salt shakers or rays of sunshine. But they DID get to go on a scavenger hunt with their eyes closed, write on the dry erase board and eat candy, so I am thinking it was a win-win for everyone. Plus, both the kiddos seemed especially interested in the fact that salt melts ice and snow. So, if nothing else, they are now prepared to help deice their sidewalk the next time "winter" happens in North Texas. Which is more than I can say for the entire City of Dallas.

So, yeah...pretty much spreading religion and practical knowledge wherever we go. That's just how Trevor and I roll.
