How we get your kids to listen better in Church

Okay, I only have boys.  So, this one is kind of one-sided.

Unintentionally, we discovered a simple way to gets our boys to pay closer attention at Church: We named our boys after the Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

Immediately, after hearing “The Gospel according to Matthew … or according to Mark … or to Luke … to John”, their interest peaks.

Recently, we were joined in the pew by one of our former neighbors, a colorful retired gentleman who our boys call Mr. Ed.

After hearing the Gospel, he turned to my little man and said, “Nice job, Luke.”
