"Mom, I think we...

need some more of those building each up other scriptures" are the words Luke announced at my bedroom door this morning, with a rushed tone in his voice. I responded "Why?" Knowing that the other two (Clay and Wesley) must have been having some kind of squabble, for the town crier to decry "our need."

I called the two up to hear their sides. Then I sent them to their room until I could get dressed. In the meantime Chuck arrived home. Whew!! What a way to have to come home after being gone for 2 1/2 weeks.

After breakfast, as per the criers request, we did some more building each other up scriptures. I wish I had a camera on Wesley's face when I told him about being "affectionate" toward his brothers. It was PRICEless. I gave examples from the scripture about greeting one another with a holy kiss. Again, a blank stare that would have been a beauty to capture.

This week we are continuing to work on our Allelon assignments. We are adding affection. he, he, he...

At least I know one child is listening!
