A few quick notes before I forget them again. I meant to tell this story from school this morning--2nd grade. I'll use fake names just in case. Alan had a little wooden cross that he got at church last night in his pocket, but he kept taking it out and playing with it. When they were standing in line to go out to recess after my class, Carlos said to the teacher "Look what Alan has". Alan showed it to the teacher and she said "I see". Carlos said "It's a cross, it's for killing vampire bats" The teacher, with amazing self control, said that she didn't think that's why they gave it to him at church. There was a heated debate for a minute or so about whether or not vampire bats were real, and then they went to recess. It made me laugh.
We had a great afternoon, all three being productive. Matthew worked on a Christmas gift for me, I worked on one, and Anna made some gifts too! Tonight Anna and I might relax, or we might work more. I haven't decided.

They must not have explained the whole redemption of mankind very well and just let the children fill in the blanks :)
This is not the first such argument between "Alan" and "Carlos". One other that was quite heated was over the existence of unicorns. "Carlos" always believes in the magical. And that KSN has the best weather and is ALWAYS right.
Everyone knows that KSN weather has gone soft ever since the introduction of the 3 degree guarantee.
I always teach that the secondary use of a cross is to kill vampire bats. I'm pretty sure it's a staple doctrine in most churches...
I like your blog because I can comment, unlike a certain other blog which used to be my favorite. Your story reminds me of Finney when he was little. I don't know which side he would have been on then, though today I think he would have sided with the existance of vampire bats and the secondary use of crosses.
Did someone cut you off, malh? So glad you're reading mine and making comments! I love comments. :)
