Early Naptime for my Munchkins

In case you didn't know, I currently teach K-4 (and Algebra, but that's another story) at Rock Church Academy.  I have 6 students ... their ages range from just turned four to already turned five.  They are a joy [most of the time] and boring none of the time!


Today I was listening to them talk during "quiet conversation time," (oh yes, I do have a period of time dedicated just to quiet talking, I am that kind of teacher), and I heard one of them say, "Well just don't tell my brother that I am spider man, he'll make me do all his work!"  Of course I chuckled and didn't really think too much of it.  However, now I am sitting in my empty room (the title of this blog, early naptime for my munchkins - because I laid them down for a nap early), thinking over the day, and this sentence jumped out at me again.


"Don't tell my brother that I am spider man, he'll make me do all his work!"


I wonder how many of us have this mentality about life?  No, I am not asking you if you think you are spider man... Rather I am suggesting that we should take inventory of our lives.  Is there anything that we are holding back because we know it will require more work if we put it to use?
