Prayer tonight before bed got to be amusing, as the typical list of people Madison prays for increased it's roster by a few names: Hawkeye, the Hulk, Thor, Black Widow, Captain America, Iron Man - and here she looks at us and asks, "What's that other guy's name?"
Daddy: "Nick Fury?"
Madison continued: "And Nick Fury. In Jesus' name, Amen."
We had a good laugh at this. I suppose the Avengers need prayer just as much as anyone else.
She hasn't seen the movie - that might be a while - but she has seen some commercials and comic books. The other day after we left the theater from seeing "Pirates: Band of Misfits," she got a free Lego Avengers poster - the one you see below.
It actually has mini-biographies on the backside, which Madison makes Daddy read frequently. Being the proud comic book nut that I am, I happily consent!
Today was a big day for preparation of Summer Xtreme. Unfortunately, these blogs will have that same theme the next several days: June 4-8th will be pretty huge for the kids at the church. Daddy has to keep using that excuse when he leaves: "I have to go get everything ready for your big week!" The older kids do bigger, more elaborate sorts of things - but Madison's age group will have a great time this upcoming week as well. Time goes by so fast: soon she'll be old enough to be with the bigger kids. And six years after that, she'll move up to another ministry for older kids. Don't you wish the clock would stop sometimes? Frequently, we catch ourselves in a hurry, don't we?
That's why it's been good to go home for lunch and sit with Madison, reading a book or playing a simple game. Mommy and Madison make it so easy to want to go home!
