KIDS IN CHURCH
- 3-year-old, Reese: “Our Father, Who does art in heaven, Harold is His name. Amen.”
- A little boy was overheard praying: “Lord, if you can’t make me a better boy don’t worry about it. I’m having a real good time like I am.”
- A Sunday school class was studying the Ten Commandments. They were ready to discuss the last one. The teacher asked if anyone could tell her what it was. Susie raised her hand, stood tall, and quoted, “Thou shall not take the covers off the neighbor’s wife.” (So True!)
- After the christening of his baby brother in church, Jason sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car. His father asked him three times what was wrong. Finally, the boy replied, “That preacher said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home, and I wanted to stay with you guys.”
- I had been teaching my three-year old daughter, Caitlin, the Lord’s Prayer for several evenings at bedtime, she would repeat after me the lines from the prayer. Finally, she decided to go solo. I listened with pride as she carefully enunciated each word right up to the end of the prayer: “Lead us not into temptation,” she prayed, “but deliver us some e-mail. Amen.”
- And one particular four-year-old prayed, “And forgive us our trash baskets as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets.” (HEY! Trespassing is trash!)
- A Sunday school teacher asked her children, as they were on the way to church service, “And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?” One bright little girl replied, “Because people are sleeping.”
- 6-year-old Angie and her four-year old brother Joel were sitting together in church. Joel giggled, sang, and talked out loud. Finally, his big sister had had enough. “You’re not supposed to talk out loud in church.”
“Why?” Who’s going to stop me?”
“See those two men standing by the door? They’re hushers.

this one 2015
I always wanted to know how to make Yum Yum sauce! Garlicky roasted broccoli yum yum!
The kids in church caused me to reflect on my Mother’s humorous story as a little girl in church.
She said the song sang often was, “Rescue the Perishing.”
She thought they were singing, “Rats in the Pear Machine” so she happily sang along “rats in the pear machine.”
I laugh every time I think of it.
Loved seeing the tribute to Sean Connery! He wasn’t one of my favorite actors as James Bond, but I loved how he matured into the legend he became. That golden voice! Those eyes! That smile! Remarkable!
Black bean nachos. . . I think I have all the ingredients on hand. . . yay dinner! And I think the Chicken Caprese Sandwich will become a summer favorite as well.
I shudder to think of the fat and sugar but some of the nostalgic foods from my era include chocolate cream-filled cupcakes with coconut marshmallow icing, the ubiquitous Twinkies, Hostess chocolate cream-filled cupcakes with chocolate icing and a white squiggle across the top – detecting a theme here, I was really into sweets 😉
Loved it all.
