Devotionals

Tonight before bedtime, Daddy read the first devotional entry with Madison.  Daddy writes these quite often, so it seemed logical that he should be reading some to her before sleep each night.  The design of each one is to match our series, which go with different themes - so just to make sure Madison enjoyed it a bit more, I picked one with a pirate theme:  "Arrr!"  She seemed to enjoy it, although I have to admit she was a little fidgety from time to time.  I think she's been that way for much of the afternoon.  There have been a lot of spontaneous wrestling matches and tickle fights - all the way up to tonight's feature presentation:  "G-Force."  We watched the guinea pigs go to action tonight - this was Madison's first viewing of it, and she was quite intently focused on all the action going on.  The scene with the FBI cars chasing small guinea pig wheels was pretty dazzling:  she was audibly into it, making oohs and aahs.  Of course, the guinea pigs get away...!

Today was a long day at church, with lots of meetings and so forth.  They finally made the announcement about the new satellite church in Suwanee, which of course will play a part in our future labors here at the church.  Lots going on - more than usual:  it will be interesting trying to keep up!

Coming home to family is always the best part though!  We had a short time together, but we made it count with games and fun.  Madison had done a lot of her homework earlier, and some practice on her piano as well - so she earned some fun time with Daddy.  Of course, that meant Lego Pirates of the Caribbean.  Seriously, she's hooked on pirates right now.  Tonight's adventure had Daddy and Madison as Lian and Park, two twin pirates out for battle in Shanghai.  Unlike the movie, they were quite successful in their endeavors.  They solved puzzles and battled East India Company thugs.  And took baths as well, apparently.  Yes, this level had steam baths, so Madison made sure everyone was clean.
