Several years ago I was asked to teach a bible class. I had an inkling a few months prior to it, that I was going to teach but I didn’t know it would be for kids. They were seven years old. I suppose the number seven stuck by me ever since.
I felt a little overwhelmed at first but progressively it got easier. The main factor is that they taught me. The amount of times they schooled me absolutely amazed me.
I think the thing that stuck out the most was the fact that, the kids loved sloths. They were simply fascinated by sloths, they called them ‘slow moving sloths’. I recall one of the kids saying ‘I don’t get it they just hang out in trees all day’. Seriously though quite literally sloths just hang out.
Oddly enough it was a class about the bible yet I remember sloths as the most memorable thing from the class.
