Ice Cream

So today I spent some time with an 8 year old from church. After our conversation, I decided I'd like to be 8 again. The gist of our conversation was that he was awesome at everything. I even asked if there was something he wasn't good at and he cocked his head a bit and thought and thought and thought. That's right. He couldn't think of anything he wasn't good at....I want that again. I want to run away from adulthood where we focus on what we aren't as good at or what we should improve. I want to believe I'm awesome at everything. I want to be 8 again!

Save Me

So each month, I write something for the church newsletter. Some months, it is easy. Some months (like right now!), it isn't. I've come to the point where I feel like I've said what I want to say. Do I repeat? Do I keep looking for something new and clever to say? Do I change the way I say what I already said?
I know people look forward to reading what I write (because they tell me so), but that doesn't make it any easier to come up with something right now! This typing may have helped. I'm thinking about the lyrics to Jesus Loves Me as a starting point. We sang it in church a few weeks ago and I think it might be the inspiration I need to get started. Let's see if this works!
