Kids say THE FUNNIEST things!!!

So last week I'm teaching my Bible class about when Peter denied Jesus!!! The kids in class are younger, 5-7 year olds, so they're having a little difficulty understanding the significance of how horrible this event was!!! This one girl is like, WEEEEELLLL Jesus told him that he was GOING TO DO IT, sooooooooo Peter was JUST OBEYING Jesus when he did it!!! LOL

Sooooo i'm like, NOoooooo Jesus didn't TELL PETER TO DO THIS TO HIM, he said that Peter WOULD DO IT because he wasn't truly strong enough to stand up for him! But Peter told Jesus that he NEVER would deny him, buuuuut only a few hours later HE DID!!!

Then to really help explain it to them, I'm like, Imagine YOUR VERY BEST FRIEND, and someone asks YOUR BEST FRIEND IF THEY KNOW YOU and YOU are embarrassed of your very best friend and YOU SAY, I don't KNOW HER!!! Wouldn't that make you feel sad??? The kids ALL nod their head very seriously, annnnnd this other girl gasps...her mouth is hanging open...Her eyes narrow...I can see that the light bulb has FINALLY GONE OFF IN HER HEAD and she says...

MY SISTER DENIES ME ALL THE TIME!!!

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Can't say I've never been denied by the sibs either!!!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

The Votaws!!!

He has preached all over the US, China, Taiwan, the Philipines, Vietnam and many more Asian countries. He preaches in underground churches in communism countries. He converted a man on death row in prison to Christ and 3 hours before that man died he baptized him in Jesus name. He prayed the first man in Vietnam to kill and americn soldier through to the Holy Ghost and Baptized him in Jesus name. He has converted trinitartin preachers all over to the Oneness doctrine...BUT ABOVE all else...I thank God that I TOO am ONE OF THOSE souls he reached out too...he gave 7 years of his life to New York City!!! I thank God that he answered the call!!! It wasn't until his 6th & final year as pastor there, that our family came into church...we were there for 9 months before we came to AZ and then right after that the Votaws left NYC for the mission fields of Asia...I THANK God that someone had a burden for NYC!!!

Sis. Kathy!!!

This is the woman that invited my Momma to a Pentecostal church!!! She told me that she was actually new in the church herself and that she would see my mom in the front yard of our house playing with us kids and she just wanted so badly for my mom to have what she had just recieved herself. It may have been just one person that she was witnessing to at that time, but that one person has had an affect on her own five children and now its her Grandchildren that are still recieving the blessing of Sis. Kathy's witness. 25 years ago, it wasn't just my mom...I may have only been two at the time, but it was ME she was winning too! I thank God she wasn't afraid to be a witness and that she didn't give up on my mom. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. (Acts 2:39) When you decide to live for God it doesn't just stop with you!
