    I am using this clip to show how characters can change over time. Gru's intention to adopt the girls was sinister, however he changed and grew to genuinally care about them. I am going to show him reading a bed time story that he wrote for the girls to show that change.

    I'm using this as an opener on God's Laws - the spirit of the law vs. the letter of the law

    I'm using this clip to teach children what God the Father is NOT like. God has rules but they are because He loves us and they are for our own good. I'm using 1 John 5:1-3 as a reference. If we love God, then we will keep His commands. And His commands are not burdensome.

    Great warmer up for how not to run a Childrens Ministry. Remember, they are kids and need sensible rules and adults need to be fun as well!

Until the day he encounters the immense will of three little orphaned girls who look at him and see something that no one else has ever seen: a potential Dad.
