Babies and Pottywords

At church we have a program for the elementary and middle schoolers. The program teaches fundamentals of church stuff and tries to push leadership skills and stuff like that. We have 2 different programs – one for the boys, the other for the girls. Anyways I decided to help out with this program this time around. I’ve been to two Sunday afternoon sessions. I’ve been sitting in with the 3rd-5th graders’ class.
During today’s session we got those weird philosophical questions that you just can’t answer with one simple sentence. Stuff like this:

  • “If a baby’s first word is a pottyword, does God send them to hell if they die?”
  • “Do demons and ghosts still exist?”
  • “Where did the Bible come from? And how was it passed down?”

Still it is good that they are asking questions like this. Shows they are paying attention. I doubt that I’m doing much. Mostly just sitting around offering meager comments. I did have an impromptu showing some of them how the big giant screen in the auditorium works. They seemed interested in it.
I managed to find an old copy of CoolEdit ’96 on the web. Nevermind that CoolEdit 2000 is out. It’s $69, while ’96 is free. And all I want to do is convert wav files to Real Audio. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what I need.
I found Blogamp….a plug-in for Winamp. FTPs a javascript to your webpage showing what songs you’ve been listening to. I probably won’t use it on my page. I may not want people knowing what songs I listen to. But I’d like to see it on others peoples. Maybe even find some cool music.
