Prununciation: \lō-’kwā-shəs\
Definition: Full of excessive talk, as in Wordy, garrulous, talkative

My son has this cool little toy microphone that I bought as a learning aid for reading. It amplifies your voice so you can hear how words are pronounced. Though we haven’t used it much as it was intended my son has found a perfect use for it – to deliver sermons to his dinosaur audience.

Last Saturday afternoon I was out and about running errands. My mother reported as soon as I got home that my son took it upon himself to line his dinos up and preach to them. Booming from his microphone he said to them, “This is Jesus, and I am not pleased! You are being very selfish.” My mother came into the room to see what the commotion was. My four year old son simply turned with a smile and said “I’m John Pastor.” (He meant Pastor John from our church).

Now I’m not sure where he got the word selfish from because I certainly don’t tell him that he’s selfish. But he LOVES pastor John. In fact Isaiah will NOT go downstairs with the other children during church and insists on standing on a chair near the isle so that he can see Pastor John Wells of Mountain View Community Church do his thing!

A couple of weeks ago in service Isaiah chose to help Pastor preach. The lesson was about those who behave one way in church and another way in public the rest of the week. Now most of us who go to church are used to having someone in the audience call back to the preacher, shout, praise, or comment during service. But as the pastor admonished people in their contradictory behavior that just because they went to church every week didn’t mean they were a good Christian, no one expected the miniature voice from Isaiah to repeat after the Pastor, “YOU’RE DECEIVING YOURSELF!”

A dear friend of ours asked my mom where Isaiah gets his “loquacious” nature from. Since I had to look it up in the dictionary, I guess it’s not me!
