Kids Views

Well, I made it home from Spokane and 'Vanna made it home from camp and just in time for a week of VBS!!! Oh, God is funny sometimes! I need some sleep! I must admit that part of this is my own doing: not os much sleep over the weekend with my sister-n-law and good friend! Hey, come on, we all have kids and husband and like NEVER go anywhere without one or the other!! So, given the opportunity to have 2 nights of sleep-over well, we had some major girl talk to do! We had visits on the back patio with BBQ, lunch at a cute little lake view place, a walk around the lake, and late night talks. Ya, we had some great late night talks. It is amazing where we all are and have been in our walks and how we each can grow from another. And, of course, the young'ens can have a sleep over and still be up at the crack of dawn. I need sleep!!

Adoption: Hmmm, best estimate is about 24 and so ... still waiting! :):) The Coxs and Moles received a court date finally for 7/15 so keep praying for them and the next travel group is getting ready to head out on 7/05 so pray for travel safety for them. There are still about 7 or 8 families waiting for court dates, hoepfully before the closure around Aug. 8th. Pray that MOWA is able to accomplish much before this closure happens because less now is even more for back-log when they open in October which will make it even a longer wait for us to bring home our kiddos! Much to pray about!!

A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin 5, and Ryan 3
The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake.
Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson.
'If Jesus were sitting here, He would say,
'Let my brother have the first pancake, I can wait.'
Kevin turned to his younger brother and said,
'Ryan, you be Jesus!'

A father was at the beach with his children
when the four-year-old son ran up to him,
grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore
where a seagull lay dead in the sand.
' Daddy, what happened to him?' the son asked.
'He died and went to Heaven,' the Dad replied.
The boy thought a moment and then said,
'Did God throw him back down?'
