Fiona reached onto the pastor's desk, grabbed the bronze Bible, and said, "I win the prize for the weekend." At the Tuesday church staff meetings each member could claim "Sunday's Most Interesting Moment in Ministry" award.
"I subbed in third grade. Class was proceeding well. I read the scripture, Galatians 4:4-7, and was going to ask some questions about parents when I saw tears rolling down Jeremy's cheeks."
The three other staff members stared at their director of Christian education and waited to hear why. "Took me a little time. I had to tread lightly with the other children present. Jeremy obviously trusted me and the six other kids. He said his grandfather had just died and he'd heard his parents mentioning the heirs. He thought God was going to die! To say the least that took us really fast to the meaning of 'heir' in Galatians."
