@@cowgirl_in_pink_pearls Lot and his wife fled Sodom and Gomorrah, which were sinful cities. God hated those cities so much he decided to turn the cities to salt. God instructed lot to leave and to not look back. Lot's wife was curious, so she turned around to look back and was turned to a pilar of salt on the spot. Hence, "Lot's wife," because Lot's wife is always still... because she is a pillar of salt And yeah, I agree with your woke comments. It skews the biblical definition of justice.

LOL! We met our nanny in college and gave her free reign on everything as long as the kids didn't die. Our kids were told when nanny is in charge, they obey her rules (more laxed than ours). The main problem with her was her constant reports throughout our absence about how our kids weren't listening to her. Our response: "Ok, what consequence are you setting? We're not there to enforce the rule, that's why we're paying you. Don't let them get away with it or they won't respect you. Just do what you can, don't kill them, and give us a report when we return. We'll talk to the kids after our return. Let us know when the house burns down, someone breaks a bone, you crash the car and have to go to the hospital, or someone kidnaps the kids and tell us which Hospital, Police Station, our other sanctuary to meet you at. I think we earned her trust on the "make sure they don't die" thing during a family theme park outing that included her. She took one child to have fun with the kiddie rides (their preference) and us older family members separated to enjoy the roller coasters for a couple hours. Storm came, park closed and evacuated early, and we communicated to Nanny our locations, meeting point, and time. During the chaos, our child in her care got separated and it took us an hour with the help of security and other good Samaritans to find her. She just followed someone else who looked similar to nanny from behind and ended up in a parking lot where she knew the general location of where we were parked. Didn't fire her and just reviewed everything that happened. Praised her for what she did correctly, reminded her things do happen, and had her come up with a plan to prevent a separation from happening in the future (she's handicapped and walks with a cane.....holding hands with kid wasn't possible in the crowd.) Solution: Have kid lead in front and follow nanny's vocal instructions.

"The pastor usually goes over on his sermons, He doesn't understand that the longer He goes on, the more out of control the kids get" True words !!!

If the planned lesson is over, just put on music or cat videos and break out some legos. Just good innocent free time fun. sometimes being expected to sit quietly and focus on a single activity (like coloring) right after sitting quietly and focusing on a single activity (like bible lessons) is alot to ask of a little one. They looove any opportunity to get the wiggles out 😊 I love that you get crazy WITH them! That's awesome!

Thank you for the advice, I don't really like to put videos to burn time, just because I feel for most of the kids Sunday school is the time to get disconnected from technology and internet too, it's not only teenagers or young adults the ones with that problem, also kids, even though is stressful as a teacher sometimes because we ran out of activities, I just think about how much they need a time to stop too, and only God provides what they don't have at home, that's why I like to get out of control with them too, I mean start talking, playing running playing tag inside of the class, etc. But it's true after a class they don't like to color !

My "classroom" was in the open air, under the church hall. (In all weather.) When we ran into OT, I had the children sing the old-fashioned children's Bible songs as loudly as possible. If the OT was excessive, then they could play chases and scream as much as they liked. At least this warmed them up, and got them ready for the Sunday nap that their parents were also going to need.
Having worked in children's ministry, I can confirm this.
