For my two cents, I don't you can go wrong if you go around and ask the kids what they are thankful for. For one, they have probably been primed in school so you won't have to push hard for an answer (Jesus?) and for two, folks will love the cute. Do you really see anyone storming out of there because the children's sermon wasn't on Hannah?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, a lot of good stuff was written last night - and that is just on the comments!<BR/><BR/>Have fun today. And as the Presbyterians apparantly say, "Don't suck."<BR/><BR/>Remember no matter what:<BR/>1) Relax! The Holy Spirit has got your back.<BR/>2) IF you've got a dog, walk it proud.will smamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06632209393133155385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14710344.post-1163925652124605152006-11-19T03:40:00.000-05:002006-11-19T03:40:00.000-05:00Wow, it's been twelve hours since I checked in las...Wow, it's been twelve hours since I checked in last.
