Caleb became really afraid of the librarian at his school. Apparently, he got in trouble for someone else talking and the resulting scolding he received from Mrs. Wright made him practically terrified about going back into the weekly libary class. We listened to him and asked questions to try and understand what was frightening him. In the end it was the wisdom of a cucumber that carried him through. In one Veggie Tales episode Larry sings to a frightened Jr. Asparagus, "God is bigger than the boogie man . . . He's bigger than Godzilla or the monsters on TV . . ." We talked with Caleb and prayed with him about God being bigger than our fears.
When the next library day came around we waited in suspense to hear how Caleb handled Mrs. Wright. He said the libary class went really well and on the way to library he kept repeating to himself, "God is bigger than Mrs. Wright."
