I was just looking back through my Discipleship notes from this year, and came across a couple of funny quotes I thought I'd share. These were on separate nights.
8th grader (reciting Isaiah 53:5 from memory): He was crushed for our inequalities...
Note: Coincidentally, this same mistake was made by a 9th grader on another night.
9th grader (after I told him to turn to Romans 8:31-32): Is it near Isaiah?
Me: Further.
9th grader: Jeremiah?
Me: Further.
9th grader: Matthew?
Me: Further.
9th grader: Mark?
Me: Further.
9th grader: Peter?
Me: Too far.
9th grader: You said Romance?

An easy mistake
Last week we were sitting at the Abundant Life White House waiting for kids to arrive for the summer program. I spotted two 5th graders coming down the street, and a short distance behind them, someone I assumed to be a certain 6th grader who lives next to them, judging by the white sneakers, light skin, and short black hair. I said, "Here comes E and M... and J too!" One of the kids said, "That isn't J! That's K's grandma!"
He was right.
He was right.
Richard says the darndest things
My co-worker/partner in ministry Richard has a penchant for butchering names. When our 5/8 Summer Program began a month ago, he mentioned to the boys some of the movies we might watch together. Among them were Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story. He described it as starring "Goody Cuban, Jr."
