FROM MATT:
We had a gift from the academy this week as Hilary got the kids to draw
pictures for us and gave them to us at prayer meeting. Now in general,
I'm not a big kids' picture fan -- random scribblings don't inspire me
to clear off my refrigerator and proudly display them for everyone to
see. These were a bit more amusing than the usual run of the mill
cards, however, as the combination of memory verses, favorite pictures,
and words of encouragement didn't always match up so well....

So we've got the piranhas eating the smaller fish with the encouragement
to "be kind one to another" -- good advice there.
We've got "Dear Mr. Mat, how are you? are you fine? for all have
sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (that particular verse was
very popular for almost everyone, trying to keep us humble I bet.)
We've got "Thank you for coming, even young mens will fall" -- that was
sent to the Schuberts, with three teenage boys.

So maybe I'll keep these on display for a little while longer than average.
