I was finally released as Primary Chorister after three long years and they called me instead to teach the 14-15 yr old Sunday School class. As it turns out, the 16-17 yr olds don't have a teacher so I get them too. This was okay until the first day when I saw that my class was all teenage boys, about 8 of them, and they're all taller than me. Nevertheless, I have waded right in and done my best not to make a fool of myself. I gave them a disclaimer that first day and let them know I was learning right along with them and told them to speak up as often as they felt like it to prove me wrong (one of them has taken this to heart).
Anyway, this Sunday our lesson covered miracles and how they continue today, not just when Jesus was on the earth. So the discussion went something like this:
Me: What are some miracles we know of?
Boy #1: Anything Jesus did in the New Testament. (Nice broad answer, but I'm not going to let them off that easy)
Me: Okay, New Testament, what else?
Boy #2: The earth.
Me: Absolutely.
Boy #3: Food.
Me: Yeah, I like food.
Boy #4: Girls.
Me: (Chuckle) Yep, girls are a miracle.

Your class sounds awesome! I think teenage boys are great, very thoughtful, it a very teenage way. Also, it sounds like my Mom was right... the only differences between Kindergarteners and High School Seniors are size and body odor. I taught the Sunbeams years ago and I remember asking them who was in the Godhead. One little boy's answer: Leman, Lemuel and Jesus.
