COVID-19 - School Closure - Day 49

During Kidz Church gathering.... when Ms. Leonora says, "I'll start pray... SW can you close us in prayer?" Leonora finishes and turns it over to SW in which he simply says , "In Jesus Name - Amen!"  And all the kids said, "Amen."

Aye.... my son.  What is it about this boy that makes him so enjoyable to be around and likeable.  That sparks joy.  Doesn't get those genes from me or Joyce.  Nn definitely doesn't have those genes either...for the most part.

COVID-19 - School Closure - Day 47

For all the greatness that Awana is... the teachers are still struggling to find their sealegs with Zoom Awana.  Listening to them teach is worst than listen to a Catholic homily.  Joined in on the phun earlier this evening to make things a little more interesting.

When the teacher started asking questions... I started feeding SW and NN the answers. Hehe... the first one caught the teacher off guard. "Ok.... that's good.  Any other answers?"  Then the second one... the teacher couldn't help but say, "Did you two memorize the entire bible??"  Dude... this is Awana!!! And he just recited one of the memory verses.

Hehe... it's all good.  It got to a point where... SW and NN were raising their hands and the teacher said, "Anyone one want to answer??"

What....?!?!  Nothing wrong with having phun while learning about the bible, right?!?!?

Friday night rolled around and we asked the Tat's... "What are you going to do?"  We've been avoiding it avoiding it avoiding it... and Hody finally said it, "People will stop by and ask why your kids not joining Arrow?  我哋好似夾埋. 離羣." 

Saturday - SW had a party so we showed up late.  Good.. I didn't have to deal with the initial awkwardness of our kids being in fellowship with us.  But after fellowship... that's when the questions started coming.  I got a few... I'm sure Joyce had to field the other ones. 

I don't know what I said... there were some truth to it.  Some stuff I didn't necessarily bring up.  Round and round... in the end I get the feeling that we won't be the last two families to take this step.  We shall see....

So tell me what you want what you really want...

"So tell me what you want what you really really want..."
"I'll tell you want I want what I really really want.."
Awana... Awana...
"I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah..."

2 weeks into Awana... and the kids are flourishing.  They WANT to finish their "TNT Assignments" and they're absolutely blowing me away with the memory verses.  It takes them an hour...if not minutes.. to memorize a bible verse.  And it's taking me an entire week.  Sigh... but I'm doing it!! 

My memory isn't what it use to be... but with enough practice and determination... I'm reclaiming what I missed out when I was a kid. 

Praise God!!
