Connor Won!!!

Yes, Connor... Sunshine as the radio host called him.. won the call in today on "Remote Control.. where you control the songs". He giggled so much when he called in his song choice that she played the wrong song for him... but thats OK. He didn't really care if they played his song, he just wanted to win.
The boys had a friend over who just casually came in for lunch with my kids. I'm still not sure why he didn't go home.. but that's ok too. We have devotions after lunch together and this kid wasn't sure what we were doing.. they do not read the Bible at his house. My kids were horrified that this boy knew so little about the Lord. Unfortunately for Blaze my children have watched the Waltons too much lately. If you have seen the first episode with the new pastor you might recognize ... "Reeeeepent, reeepent". Connor did his best impersonation and Blaze looked completely confused.. and, dare I say, scared! Matt yells out "But that means you are a sinner and going to HELL!" One of the rare times that hell in a sentence isn't swearing for a 9 year old. Suffice it to say, my boys were shushed, a quick, loving presentation of the gospel was given (by me) and, quite suprisingly, Blaze elected to stay for the afternoon. Whether he mentions his lunchtime conversations to his mom (and if we ever see Blaze again!) remain to be seen. It took 4 years to get any kids to come over here, I'd hate to see it cut short in less than 2 weeks.
The killer of it was, in talking to the boys later, neither of them had a clue what Reeepent really meant. It was good to clear that one up. They knew the concept fully but had never connected it to the word properly. Each thought it meant something different, but they hopefully know it now.

Reeeeeepent!!!
