Faith and Fear

Yesterday I decided to attend Leigha's Sunday School class with her and found myself very enlightened. We had a really good time singing and dancing to their worship songs and then learning about Peter. As most reading this know, Peter is well known for walking on the water with Jesus for a moment until he lost faith and started sinking. Therefore our lesson was for the kids to understand what faith is and to trust when we fear. The kids were then asked to privately write down their fears and there's where my enlightenment, and some remorse, came. Leigha began writing about fears that seemed more suitable for an adult than a nine year old. Things like being killed in a bad storm, being murdered and being kidnapped. What...why isn't she writing about the same things her best friend wrote, losing her kitty cat, not getting a bunny? Our media is making our children grow up way before their time. And for a worry wart like my Leigha, I'm thinking we need a lot less media.
