Under Construction...

I have been doing some scheming and dreaming lately, and I am hoping to have a new blog (same address) up and running in the next few weeks.

So, until then, forgive the mess.

Not exactly how the story went...

Caleb sometimes likes to act out Bible stories and often asks us to act with him. The following is this morning's enactment of 1 Samuel 3. The actors were as follows: God-Caleb Samuel-Brandon Eli-Mandy

God/Caleb: Samuel...Samuel...
Samuel/Brandon: (Waking up and thinking it was Eli calling him) What is it, Eli?
Eli/Mandy: (Sleeping but woken by Samuel) I didn't call you, Samuel.

Samuel goes back to bed...
God/Caleb: Samuel...Samuel...
Samuel/Brandon: (Wakes up and goes into Eli's room again) Eli, why did you call me?
Eli/Mandy: I didn't call you. (Then, realizing it might be God) If you hear it again, say, "Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening."

Samuel goes back to bed...
God/Caleb: Samuel...Samuel...
Samuel/Brandon: Speak, Lord. I am listening. What do you want from me?
God/Caleb: (Pausing to think about it...and then jumping on the opportunity) Will you come play with me? Let's play house.
