Have you ever.....

Have you ever had a child rush at you, give you a hug and just look up you and smile the sweetest, most innocent smile ever created? I suppose parents may often be put in that situation. As I feel like a parent more and more, I am certainly getting my dose. It is so wonderful. I have a student in my class who gets excited over "small" things. He came running up to me today smiling the biggest smile ever, threw his arms around me and announces "it's snack time, Miss Harris!!!" I couldn't help but smile back at him and agree that yes it is snack time. Those are the moments that make everything ok. No matter what else is destroyed or what world is crashing down, for that ONE moment, everything is ok because it is snack time.

I didn't think this class was into theology. However, yesterday I asked them 'how many gods are there?' They went crazy. I heard 1, 10, 17, 100. Needless to say, a lengthy discussion followed. There were questions such as "why doesn't God fall out of heaven?"or "what keeps us in heaven?" "Will we fly there?" "If the devil doesn't live in heaven, is he in hell?" Except for the fact that I am drained afterwards, I love Bible times like this. I also saw a little boy draw a picture of the cross who I have often wondered if he goes to church. It was quite exciting to see that perhaps some seeds have landed on good soil.

Please keep praying for me that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel.
