Christian magician Charles Wormsley was the guest during our Sunday School hour this morning. Thomas and some of his little friends stood right up front so they could see better (as opposed to sitting in the pews).

Towards the end of the presentation, Thomas ran back to me and said, “Mom! I REALLY want to HELP him!!” (All along, he has been asking for volunteers). I said, “OK — go ask him!”

Thomas walked straight to the front and said, “Can I please help you do a trick?” NO FEAR. It was awesome. He said, “Sure! What is your name?” And Thomas answered loud and clear. So Wormsley gave him a magic wand.

He had another volunteer help put a scarf with a picture of a caterpillar into a jar. As he was putting it in, Wormsley said, “Catepillars can be ugly little monsters and when you step on them, green slime comes out.” Thomas said, “Well, GODZILLA is the KING of the monsters…” Everyone laughed SO hard. Wormsley couldn’t help it and was laughing, too. He said, “Yeah, Thomas, Godzilla is a pretty big monster, huh?”

He had Thomas wave the wand, and when he opened the jar, a similar scarf with a picture of a butterfly was in the jar instead.

Wormsley had everyone give him around of applause.

Thomas felt like a hero.
