Nursery Duty

Ty and I served in the nursery for the first time at Genesis yesterday morning. I was looking forward to it. I know half or more of the babies from playgroup on Wednesdays and I really was looking forward to giving back to the church in some tangible way. Anyway Ty confessed as we were waiting for the kids to come that he was more anxious about watching a few babies than he would be if he were getting up in front of 500 people to preach. Funny how different we are. I was totally comfortable with these kids. Now I will admit that there was some insanity involved. We had about 10 infants under one year of age and at one point a majority of them were crying but what are you going to do when you are completely outnumbered? We did the best we could. All that kept going through my head was the time that the children's ministry guy said "You never see the numbers come up on the screen because we are just that good." Apparently Ty and I weren't that good because he went and got a couple of the moms. Oh well, we did our best.

Now you're ready for twins, at least.
