"Ladies and gentlemen, prayer cannot be news hour. It's not time for you to make long comments about what's going on where and with whom in the news. Look at the clock - we just spent 10 minutes in 'prayer.'"
I said all this rather calmly...which is surprising because I was ready to explode in frustration at this new trend in 6th grade prayer.
And then, one of my students - God bless his heart! - raised his hand and offered a suggestion, "You know. If we spend 5 minutes at the beginning of the day on current events, then we won't feel the need to say it all during prayer because we will have already talked about it."
Bingo. Great problem solving. I. love. it.
So, current events it is tomorrow. We'll see how that goes...
On a side note, my girls raised their record to 3-0 on the volleyball court tonight. In back-to-back games (with 3 girls missing), they played their little hearts out, rallied, and served pretty consistently. I am one proud coach of the way they've been calling the ball and having fun.
