I have so many things that I want to teach my kids. Unfortunately many of the plans I have just don't seem to work when I want them to. It's time for me to find other ways to teach them. One of these is to teach them to pray by themselves. To really talk to God. Normally we do this at bedtime. For Drew, that is probably the worst time because by 7:30 he has just lost it! It is like he doesn't hear anything after that and everything is 10 times funnier than it is at any other time of day.
Tonight, I asked him if there is anything he wanted to pray and ask God for. He mentioned a couple of things and I said, "Why don't you pray tonight?" This was his prayer:
Dear God,
Thank you for helping Ethan's arm to feel better soon and please heal Isaac's leg and please don't let the bad guys kill us.
In Your Name to pray, Amen.
It started off so sweet but the bad guys line was a bit of a shocker. I think he has been watching too much Star Wars. That is all I can think of that would lead him to say that. At least he is talking to God though. Right?

Hey Sis! (Not that I've ever called you that.)
So I've tagged you with a meme, the blog equivalent of chain mail.
