Not so bright moments.....

#1
When I made up an illustration for trusting God in a one on one Bible study with 12 year old female. I said, "Trusting God is kinda like when you're on the internet in a chat room and the other person says I'm blonde and blue eyes and 13 years old. You can't see them but you have to take their word for it...." *blank stare* "ummm not that you should be meeting guys on the internet..." better yet trusting God is more like...."

After having enough of watching two students in class giving too much PDA I confronted them after class.... this is what came out of my mouth. "You two are way to affectionate with each other in class you need to tone it down." *should have stopped there* (turning to the male I then added) "dude she's not a blow-up doll."

You should of seen their faces.

"dude she's not a blow-up doll."

I don't see anything wrong with telling the truth and sometimes the truth hurts.
