Cycle B Gospel Text Sermons for Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany
Kathleen Norris tells of an experiment she tried with elementary school children when she taught art. She told them first they get a chance to make noise and then they will make silence.
"The rules for noise were simple: when I raise my hand, I told them, you make all the noise you can while sitting at your desk, using your mouth, hands, and feet. The kid's eyes would grow wide -- and the teacher's as well -- so I'd add, the important thing is that when I lower my hand, you have to stop."
