Here’s a few pictures I couldn’t resist. There are two highlights of the last couple of weeks. #1 – The boys were staying with Grandma and somehow the topic of baptism came up. Sometime in the conversation Coleman went missing. Grandma found him in the kitchen with soaking wet hair, next to a bowl filled with water. When asked what he had been doing Coleman replied with, “Oh, I just got baptized.”
#2 – Coleman might have to get glasses. Upon hearing this news he told me he didn’t want to get glasses because they will make him look weird and no one else in his class has glasses. I saw this as an opportunity to launch into a little lesson about how it doesn’t matter what we look like on the outside, but it’s what is on the inside that counts. He listened quietly as I carried on and ended my speech with, “…so you see, Coleman, it really doesn’t matter what you look like on the outside.” His quiet and short response was, “Yes it does.” I’m glad I really broke through to him. Oh, the honesty of children.
