Last minute Charlie
One of my less beneficial traits is a tendency to procrastinate. But I think "Last minute Charlie" is a more positive nickname than "Mr. Procrastinator", thus the title of this blog. The latest example of this character flaw is my preparation for tomorrow's Children's Message at church. I was called earlier in the week and agreed to come up with a simple message while our Pastor is off. We have a church campout so there won't be many kids in church - but still I should give this more than a couple minutes preparation. Like usual, Shelly helped me out. She had some leftover glow-in-the-dark bracelets from the Pumpkin Paint 2009 that we had saved specifically for this cause, and she even knew where to find them!
So tomorrow's message will come with a "snap", "shake" and "glow" wrist bracelet. I'm hoping most of them work, the box of open bracelets Shelly had with 6 only had 1 that glowed. But an unopened box was tested and the first two worked.
So what lesson do I share with our 4-8 year old children?
- Don't be a "last minute Charlie"
- Be prepared (Boy Scout theme?)
- Let your light shine for Jesus
- when you get snapped, or shaken - how do you react? it's a chance to shine!
- how long does your glow for Jesus last?
Oh boy, now my problem is picking JUST one - guess I should have procrastinated longer!

Dear Shelly,
"Happy Birthday" doesn't quite make the mark of how much I want you to enjoy this day and everyday of your 52nd year! I hope you get to have Starbucks coffee, that your ride to Michigan City to pick up Lindsey is safe and enjoyable and that we get to spend a little time together just to celebrate another year of blessings. I love you and can't imagine life without you!

Grandsons are delightful
Just another morning at Nana Shelly's house. The plan was to have 'pudding painting' but the raw materials tasted too good for art, unless you consider Kam's 'body art'!
