"I Prayed About It"

This is code. It means

“I want it,”

“I am going to get it,” and

“I don’t care what you or anyone else says.”

My daughter was three-years-old and enjoying a snowy, wintry day when she discovered that snow was great for both sledding and eating. When my wife saw her eating the snow, she told her that snow was not for eating and that she needed to stop.

That night our daughter added this to her prayer before she went to bed: “And Jesus, is it okay if I eat snow?” Immediately her eyes opened wide, “Mommy, he said YES!”

I do love to shop....

This past weekend I noticed that stores are now into the full swing of “back to school” shopping.  Now I’m starting to hear “back to school shopping” in conversations everywhere.  Mostly, these conversations come with disappointment that summer will be over soon.
