This weekend at church was Family dedication. We had 63 families dedicating children . The children's pastor said that of the 52 weeks in a year, our attendance reports show that these kids will be at Lcbc 42 of those weeks- he poured 42 M&M's into a glass jar to represent the 42 hours we have to teach these kids about Jesus.However, then he went on to say that even those those 42 hours are great, parents have 2-3 thousand hours of influence on their kids from the time they get them up for school , then from when they get home, summers, weekends ect.So he poured 3,000 more M&M'sinto the jar. Of course I  had to double that time in my mind with homeschooling. Wow! thats alot of hours and alot of influence. Two of those M&M's came back to me by way of encouragement yesterday. I get Ashleys facebook status updates fwd to my phone.Yesterday she wrote out Jer.29:11......( Yup, He really does Ash:) and then last night, Dillan came in my room to talk to me about his plans for today, he left with an "I love you Mom"....... he'll be 17 on Sat.

I have one more thing to post but I need to take a pic first.....
