Commentless Sunday

I hate making promises, vows, or statements with deadlines.  Today, was my weekly visit to my Sunday kids.  Although in rare form, from my creative geniuses all the way to my hoodlums in the making,  I found that I just couldn't pinpoint that one brilliant comment I promised, vowed, or stated I would last week.  However, I may be able to deliver something even better.  Long after playtime, felt lesson time, and amazingly inspired craft time had ended the kids were supposed to be having quiet time.  The lights were turned low and they each were to have found  their own talk and touch free spot.  While the kids' worship leader strummed a non energizing tune on her guitar, I looked out over my minions.  Quite suddenly, I noticed that a chair against the back wall started to slide.  Then my eye was caught by a second movement.  There was another chair sliding as well.  It seemed to be almost 'chasing' the first chair.  As I slowly took in the big picture, I noticed that each chair had a child under it, and apparently chair #2 wanted to get within touching distance of chair#1.  Now chair #1 is my most law abiding citizen and was simply trying to avoid breaking the law.  But chair# 2 was truly a force to be reckoned with, thanks to his extra dose of red dye with breakfast.  As the leader and rule enforcer that I am, I simply found myself a 'spot' between them and the chase ended as quickly as it had begun.  Who needs a comment with that kind of entertainment?
