Then as I checked my blogline account, I saw a great blogpost by Granny on the same topic. You can read it here. The book arrived after just yesterday when Annalise looked around church and then whispered to me, "Mom, there is only one other kid in church today besides us." Of course, she has grown up hearing us talk about this issue, but she seems genuinely amazed that other children don't enjoy the adult service. As we walked into the bathroom after the meeting, she said, "Wow! Has it been an hour already? I can't believe it's over!" I told her it had been more than an hour and that if it went fast for her it must mean she enjoyed and understood it. After all, our pastor is working his way through Genesis, which I think is one of the best books to start kids on experiencing the Bible for themselves.
Something I hope others will consider....

I had recently read this book back when we came to spend the Feast of Tabernacles with you all. It confirmed my suspicions that children should be with their parents during church services. Your family and friends were the only people I knew at the time doing the "family integrated" church thing and I was so encouraged.
Good book...
