When I wrote the "Signs and More Signs" post, I forgot to mention, that my only child had her first Nursery experience. I realize that I leave my child every day for some period of time, but this for some reason was different. I had to talk myself into the fact that this was going to be okay. I should mention that I was supposed to do this a month ago. I just couldn't do it. I would walk into church and instead of heading to the Nursery, I would just go to primary. She is my little companion in primary.
Last week, I did it. I dropped her off to a room of germ infested, could be mean, little children. To make it almost worse, I didn't know the nursery worker that was there at the time. I made my way to primary, and never heard any blood curdling screams. I taught the lesson in quiet (the kids may have learned something for the first time this year) and cruised to pick her up.
She was sitting at the table eating a cracker. I pushed the germs from my mind, and asked the nursery leader how she had done. She didn't have much to say to me, and that still bugs me. I wanted a minute to minute report. I wanted to know if she was hit by a child, if she hit a child, if she asked for me or what? I was glad that they didn't tell me not to bring her back. I suppose that would be worse. I guess we will take her back next week.

Germs are good for the immune system. Don't worry about the nursery leaders, they just want to get the heck out of there.
