But hey, maybe listening to them tell you why they are right is better. What do I know. I've only been at this a long time, and God Blessed me with the care and raising of many children. I know children better than they know themselves, but what do I know about Saving them?

There was definitely a look on my face! Wow, excellent way to grab their attention - got mine! I haven't had the privilege of witnessing to any child over 5 nor raising any for that matter. I do not nor will I ever think I know more than you when it comes to kids. I'm merely an "uncle" at this point in my life. Poor comparison on my part as I was trying to tie together the idea of how non-believers are like those 3 year olds where I wait for them to state their game, to play along and then find areas to speak out about.
Thank you for instruction - I will most certainly not forget that way of attaining attention from kids.
