Precious words....

I just had to write this down. Last night we all just made our own dinner. James was heating up some Chinese food in the microwave. Here's the conversation Kaitlyn and I had:

What's Daddy makin'?
Chinese food.
I know that... what's it called?
Pad Thai.
Oh, like baptized?
What?
Like baptized?
Well, no not really. Where did you learn about baptized?
From everywhere.
What does it mean?
I don't know, you say it.
Well, it means when you grow up and you decide that you want Jesus to live in your heart forever, you get baptized.
Well, I wanna get baptized right now.

So sweet.

A: that is so sweet! Keep up the good work Mommy and Daddy!

B: just a guess, but pad thai seems more like thai food than chinese food.

Leslie,

Sometimes I come across things that inspire me to write you.
