Had to share a bit about my oldest daughter Kathryn. She’s 7. I’ve just been fascinated lately with what’s going on in that pretty head of hers.
Kathryn sometimes leaves me completely unsure of how to respond…
a couple of weeks ago Kathryn looked me straight in the eye and said “It’s my fault and I’m OK with that.”
I remember being very proud of her but thinking I probably shouldn’t be. At any rate I was stumped.
Kathryn is very logical…
Kathryn has a heart of worship…
A week ago we came back from church and she declared she wanted to write a song and disappeared upstairs for quite a while. This is what she wrote:
Walking in the desert with my Looord
I bileve that your real in my life and vison
Witout your kindness I would’nt be alive
So thank you thank you for making the earth
without nature the earth would be dead
So we just say thank you! Thank you!
Thank you my looord! Lord! My Lord!
I love that kid. I tell her often.

Wow! There’s a lot goes on in that little head! You should be proud…or really, really scared. Or both.
Oh, to be seven and precocious again…oh, to be seven and anything again.
How have you been lately. You’ve been kinda quiet. Lots of summer activities no doubt.

Mel…
Yes - summer is cooking - both in terms of temp and busyness. Summer was supposed to slow down so I could “catch up” on blogging. (you should see the list of partial posts in my “drafts” section) But as it is I am SWAMPED! Trying to raise support for another year of ministry… trying to rescue a disaster of a building project so we can actually have a venue to base our ministry out of (see http://urbanmish.blogspot.com for a pic and some more details)… trying to plan and strategize for the year ahead… trying to catch up with all the things that got put off because the LAST 6 months of ministry got so crazy…. etc, etc, etc!! Oh yeah, and trying to relax and sneak in downtime with the family.
Deena…
It’s down-right freaky watching them “become”.
Lon…
I didn’t know either!
Ruth!…
Great to hear from you again! I can’t remember if I knew you had a girl or not… it’s been kind of a crazy last 9 months! I’m not sure how or where but I hope our paths cross with you and Brian again sometime soon!
