July evenings

We dropped brother off at basketball camp and then went for a bike ride around the local pond.   Guaranteed we got off easy next to how hard Ben will be worked!

3D Model Project.

  Ben came home with an assignment from school to replicate any item he chooses,  and either make a duplicate 10 times bigger or 10 times smaller than the original item.   It took us a week to figure out what to make.  We had so many ideas,  but either Ben wasn't impressed with them,  or they were really difficult to re-create.      Then one day Ben said "Toilet paper!"   and then bust out laughing.     At first, I was like "Ben,  you are NOT taking in toilet paper!"   But he got such a huge kick out of the idea that we said "alright!  have at it!"    He happily worked on his project,   and I must admit,   he did a good job.     He steadily laughs every time he looks at it,  and most of his school agrees that his was indeed the funniest 3D project.      My silly boy and his toilet paper.   You can see by his face how much humor he got out of it!  lol ...

The precious freedoms we have.      As I dropped my son off at VBS last night,  I realized how thankful I am for the ability to take him to local churches to learn more of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.          It crossed my mind that other countries may not have this precious freedom at all    To freely come together to teach and learn of him.    How joyous to have a room full of children singing loudly songs of praise and know they are safe and free to do so.   It made my heartbreak for others who can only dream of these freedoms,    or worse, have to suffer for their Faith.   These people need our prayers.    Never take for granted our freedom of Faith and religion.    Fight for them.  Treasure them.
