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!
