This is how you rock it out! I love this kid, even though every week he tells me which karate belt he has recently achieved and then proceeds to show me on my shins and kneecaps. Caleb has no reservations about letting it all go in worship, though his particular brand of expression strongly resembles a Kid Rock concert.
And this is how I spent my Wednesday night. Left to right are Jake, Boone, and Tyler. My nerves may never recover. But it was a blast and I'm sure the kids all had a great time, except maybe the little girls. Poor little Josie seemed to shy away in terror but, heck, can you blame her? Props to the college students who orchestrated the melee/fracas/hullabaloo. I hope we do it again soon.-----------------------------------------------------------
And I have a story that came to mind when I read Prof. Cross's post about the Biblical kings. I have laughed about this all day and I'm actually sorry I didn't share it with you all sooner.
Several months ago, I went through a little study about the kings with my Sunday night high school and middle school boys group. It wasn't anything terribly deep but we just touched on each king that the Bible mentions and talked about their reigns and what they accomplished or didn't. We discussed the blessings of obedience and the judgments and disciplines of "doing evil in the eyes of the Lord." Then, we would move on down the line, or up the line. Whatever.
One Sunday I was carrying on and the guys were kind of drifting in and out (normal behavior). So I cut it a little short and finished up with reading the rest of the Scripture passage for the night: 2 Kings 24:6, which says, "So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers..."
Landon Raby (no further explanation needed), who had been yawning and rubbing his eyes, perks up real quick and says, "He did WHUT?!?!?"
I'm so proud.
Have a great day, y'all.
