During family devotions today starting around 8:

Dad was sleeping in bed because he has a fever (again?)

Ben got in trouble about 57 times, being told to criss cross and have self control

Jack got in trouble a few times too, and looked up the word “delude” in Webster’s

Stephanie sat patiently on an icepack because her back was in pain

And I:  left to take a sick child to the clinic, was stopped on the path by our Pastor, went to my room and shuffled some Myers money to the school, took money for buying sugar back outside to Pastor John, greeted our helper Helen who knocked and came in, answered the other door and then went to the library and gave five books to three boys, went out to deliver a message to the boarding master, went to the library again for five more books after another knock on the door, was handed a clean pair of my underpants when I was heads down praying out loud, laughed… But still had a great time.  Only an omniscient God could begin to appreciate such devotion-in-the-whirlwind.  At least I think He appreciated it.  Thankfully, I had already done my bible and quiet time.
