Trivia
Trivia this weekend was apparently a challenge. I'm not sure how Jungle fared, but I do know that the 11:00am service in Elevate must have been having difficulty processing. At least it afforded some laughs!
Me: What was the name of the woman who hid the spies.
5th grade girl: Umm...huh....uhh...
Me: I know you know this. Is it on the tip of your tongue?
5th grade girl: Yes.
Me: What letter does her name start with?
5th grade girl: A "C"....
Me: Let's go over to the fourth grade.
Child who is madly waving their hand: Erica!
Me: Umm. Not really close. I'll give you a hint. It starts with an "R".
4th grade boy: ...Rerica!!
Me: Oh gosh. Third grade?
3rd grade boy: Ray.
Me: Halfway there.
5th grade boy bursting at the seams: RAYA!!
Me: Nope.
4th grade girl: Rahub.
Me: Close enough. Everyone say RAHAB. Now everyone say RAHAB! One more time...
I had hoped this might have been the only problematic question of the morning, but perhaps I was aiming to high.
Me: What was the name of the city that the spies were sent to check out especially? The one that RAHAB lived in?
3rd grade girl: Jerusalem!
Me: Good guess and correct first letter!
5th grade boy: Ginger?
Me: Are you guessing the name of the city?
5th grade boy: Yes.
Me: And Ginger is the name of the city?
5th grade boy: I think so.
Me: Ginger is my name. Rahab was the woman in the story, and not Erica, remember everyone?!
5th grade boy: Oh. How about Jericha?
Me: What about 4th grade?
4th grade: JERICHO!!
Me: Thank you!! Now everyone say JERICHO...and again... now say RAHAB LIVED IN JERICHO!
I wonder if God ever feels a bit like I did in this situation. He's teaching me things on a daily basis but I'm guessing I probably don't pay attention as closely as I could. How many times do I look up and wonder "Jericha?" May we have ears to hear and eyes to see!
This weekend we will journey with Joshua and the Israelites as they make their way across the Jordan river. We will learn to watch for God's Miracles and see him work in unexpected ways. Check out Joshua chapters 3 and 4 for the whole story!
