The Picture of a Know-it-All

It never fails.  When I prepare a lesson to teach my sixth graders on Sunday mornings, I ALWAYS LEARN SOMETHING.

It’s funny to me that these eleven and twelve-year olds, many that have grown up going to church, think they “already know it all” when it comes to the Bible.

Of course they don’t, but because they’ve grown up hearing the stories of the Bible, they figure there’s not much more in there that they need to know.  (Thank goodness I get to them before they reach Jr. High age!) ;o)  I actually LOVE this age, in part, because they are hungry for the answers to the questions “WHY IS THAT IN THE BIBLE?” and “SO WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ME?!”
