Whou would have thought?

If you were to ask any of my friends what my feelings towards children were 3 years ago they would have said something like "John hates kids." Or "He has no experience with children at all." To my great shame they would have been right. I spent all of my time avoiding children. I thought they were loud, annoying, and all around not neccessary. This changed once I started attending Christ Church. Just to show me how much of a sense of humor he has God put me in a place that would get me past my child phobia. At first I had no intention of helping durring the childrens church, but I was asked to help with the Vacation Bible School last summer. I had a lot of fun. Then I was asked to help with the childrens service on sundays. I said I would help with one and hoped that would be enough. The first one was fun and the kids seemed to like me. So I prayed about it and felt that the childrens service was where I was to help out for a while, that is until the BIG GUY tells me other wise. I was also introduced to a new little friend who is the son of two of my very good friends. Being around him is a blast and I always look forward to seeing him. I even gave him a nick name. I just call him Squeeker. Now I can honestly say I, John D. G., like kids, for the most part.
