There is a large Congregational church in Ossipee, New Hampshire who has utilized our ministry several times in recent years.  I did a show there this morning; Sue and Rose went to our home church as they had commitments there.  It was an hour drive through rural Maine and New Hampshire, which was a beautiful way to start my day. 

My show was for their ‘children’s church’ time while the teens and adults were in the sanctuary for the ‘regular’ service.  There were about 30 to 35 kids there, and they were very attentive and involved. After a rough show –in terms of juggling- earlier in the week, I was very pleased with my routines.  Not only that, but the ceilings were very low, so I did a good bit of juggling on my knees… right where God wants me, perhaps.

The show lasted an hour, and I taught the kids about trusting God when things are difficult as well as when things are going well.  I imagine different kids got different things out of it, which is the way it’s supposed to be.

After the show, many of the children gathered around to pet our rabbit, Jeremiah.  He’s always very gentle with the audience, and today was no exception.  I heard several little girls tell their parents “You need to get me a rabbit!”  As I was leaving, the leader of the children’s ministry gave me a generousgift toward out trip to Paraguay.
