Children

One of the really fun things about last weekend when Brice, Neisha and Zeke were here was getting to hold and play with Zeke. He's a pretty happy kid most of the time, so playing with him was pretty cool. Since Kaleb is several years past the baby stage, this was a chance to practice my grandpa baby skills for some future date... and I made the most of it.

Kaleb is a fun age as well... he's old enough to actually go out and do stuff with him, and that's pretty special. When I was in Boston last spring, one thing we did was go out on the local hike/bike trail. I ran and he rode his bike... we had a pretty cool time. Of course, he's also up for other stuff, including movies, games of all sorts and reading. He still likes to be read to, but he really likes just to read.

This Sunday the three year old through third grade kids in our Children's Ministry will be doing several things during our service... mostly singing and reading some scriptures. They've been working on it for a while now, and I'm really looking forward to it. Our worship time may not be as "adult friendly" as usual, but what a neat opportunity for each of us to really live in the moment of what Jesus meant in Matthew 18:3-4

I tell you the truth, you must change and become like little children. Otherwise, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. The greatest person in the kingdom of heaven is the one who makes himself humble like this child.

If you're in the neighborhood, think about joining us Sunday morning. See ya!
