Kiddies!!!

Guess, guess, guess who got to do the big story time last night at BN? ME!!! Awesome. It’s been on all the BN websites for weeks—at 7 pm last night across the country (we’ll pretend we’re all in the same time zone) semi-circles of little ones listened to the Polar Express—howling like the wolves, ringing Santa sleigh bells, and cheering along with the elves. How much fun that I got to do storytime. LOVE it—made my whole night, even after three other booksellers said—“You got stuck with storytime, huh?” (like it was a bad thing) and I was left with the disaster of spilled hot chocolate and 800 random books strewn all over the children’s section. Five stars for Barnes and Noble, simply because leading storytime is awesome.

I still give the church five stars for kid interaction as well. One of my favorite parts of being a pastor at First Pres was preschool chapel on Wednesday mornings—15 minutes of story-telling and sing-songing. Good stuff.
