Tonight our small group met at the FMH emergency room. We put together little yellow plastic bags (complete with Daybreak logo), filled with candy, apples, water bottles, pretzels, and various happy meal toys. We then went through the emergency room and offered these bags and offered to pray with people. Who hasn’t been to the emergency room, having rushed out of the house (because it was an emergency) and have had to sit there for hours with nothing to eat or drink, or even do.

Bus Stop Evangelists, Part Two
Joshua, Caleb, and I sat on their bed the other night as we were preparing for them to go to sleep. I knew that some older boys on the bus had been calling them names and aggravating them, so I wanted to see how they were dealing with it. After talking with them, I discovered it wasn’t the older kids picking on them, it was a boy their age. Joshua and Caleb were upset because this young man would not listen to them as they told him about Jesus and God.
Deep Thoughts with Drew
I believe that one of the ways maturity shows itself is that a person realizes some things about themselves and accepts them as fact. Can people change, absolutely – but they have to be willing to accept the facts as they stand. For example, math has never been my strong point – can that change? Sure, but I’m not in that big of a hurry to sign up for a calculus class any time soon! Also, I have always admired people who run marathons, but I have no desire to put in hours and hours every week, to prepare for the race. I prefer to use my time doing other things (which usually involve potato chips or French fries).
So at age 33, I realize that I am maturing (whether I like it or not). I have chosen to follow a certain life course. I have chosen a certain lifestyle, to be a certain kind of father, person, etc.. and the Lord has blessed me. Sometimes the decisions have been good and sometimes not so good. I realize that I will more than likely will never be president of the
Pre-School Make Over
I gave Hannah-Grace a set of play make-up for her last birthday. So from time to time she will ask to get it out, and last night was one of those times. We went through the routine of putting make-up on her eyes, lips, blush on her cheeks, etc.. We even painted her finger nails and toe nails. To end our time there was a little red heart that we stuck to her cheek.
About the time I was planning to be finished, Joshua asked if he could put make-up on her as well, and then Caleb joined the fun. Kimberly and I got to talking about another issue and before we knew it, several minutes had passed. We looked back and we saw their creation – vow-la! With two boys who have a little sister who is willing to go along with some crazy plans, you have to stay on top of things.
