The Quest for Pants

Madison and Daddy have been on a Quest for Pants lately. Inspired by our LEGO series, we decided to play "The LEGO Movie Game" some more, and to our dismay, we realized we never got around to collecting all the different pants that are seen in this game.  Notably absent from our collection are the exploding pants, which may be something our imagination makes better than what they in fact actually are.  Just the name alone sounds awesome.  Madison was looking for pants today, although we still have yet to get the ones that explode.  These are the important ones.

Today is Wednesday, and tonight was Wednesday night, obviously.  We had our small groups tonight, and our series is about learning some of the fundamental building blocks of the Bible.  That said, I was hoping to show our kids how to look up scriptures in the Bible, specifically the ones we call "Romans Road."  It was a bit of that, and a bit of showing kids how to look things up, which are both somewhat different, but both obviously important.  Looking up things in the Bible shouldn't be a lost art!

Anyway, inspired by the LEGO Lord of the Rings game, Daddy made this worksheet here.

It turned out well!  Plus, all the scriptures are in Romans, so for beginners, this is rather easy.  Anyway, it turned out well.  Glad we did it!  Madison will have this for homework soon enough...!

We had some meetings today, long ones.  Our new college students are coming in, and that takes up a lot of time.  Fortunately, Daddy has a nice office, thanks to Mommy.  It's a peaceful place with Chinese lanterns, and a wall of books that Daddy is slowly building up, each one a notebook filled with images, notes and of course sermons related to one of 63 different series so far.  We've done 63, and each of these books is going to be a wonderful look back on what we did, while providing something useful for the future.

The other news of the day is rather unfortunate.  There was an accident with a lawn mower, and it could be that David Austen, Madison's cousin, has lost part of his toe.  We're waiting to find out the news, and at least he's okay.  But the hits keep coming for her family.  We were praying for them tonight, certainly.
