The scripture was Choose Life, and I had thought it would take alot of talking to get to what "choosing life' might mean to pre-teens and I was never so wrong...they knew why their living was rich because they did their best to follow Jesus. <br /><br />Then they decided we had better talk about Jesus walking on water and Creation and Adam and Eve, and, and, and....they are just at the cusp of leaving the comfort and certainties of childhood behind including their literal acceptance of Scripture, and I felt priviledged, and excited to see the confidence they had found so far in Scripture inspiring them to deeper discovery. Smetimes I have kind of held my breath as we covered Creation and the like with our littlest kids, in its purest biblical telling but I am growing to realize that more literal foundation needs to be laid giving them the confidence to simply experience the richness of Christian life and if we are able to do that well, the questions begin, as they did last Sunday, but the questions are rooted in a desire to find the deeper truth<br />of Scripture and living, and not as a means to completely disprove anything.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03791371242692378169noreply@blogger.com
