Another Kid's Club Night

"Wait, I have a question...oh, I forgot."

"There's snow in my boots." 

"I'm not allowed to drink pop."

Her friend, in agreement: "No, she's not."

"I have a question. Science says dinosaurs and man lived thousands of years apart, but the Bible says God created everything in six days."

The reply: "Did you know they found dinosaur prints and human prints alongside each other, made at the same time?"

"Oh," in pure faith.

"I'm going to eat my cupcake before I get home."

"Can you pass the glue?"

It was a chaotic evening, maybe because of the beautifully warm weather, coming at last. Or maybe just because they're kids. Once again, the calmest part of the entire evening was the staff choir's song. Our selection for the night, "Purer in Heart Oh God..." The room becomes quiet as these children follow along in their hymnals, heads bent over the pages. These children coming from broken homes, spiritually dry environments, love starved lives; quiet as a hymn is sung. I do not understand how the evening can be full of noise and chaos, until we come to this part. And it is quiet. I don't understand. I only marvel.
