SMOOTH, SHORT OPERATOR

Is it movies? TV? The culture? All I know is, man! Kids are growing up fast these days.

At a wedding reception Saturday night, our 16-year-old looked beautiful in a red sparkly dress. Well, the “ringman” – as Maddy called the 5-year-old ringbearer – came up to her – came up to her waist, that is – and asked her to dance.

“Come on! Let’s go!” was his line.

O . . . K.

But then guess what happened? After a while, he said, “We could go to my hotel.”

Our daughter just burst out laughing . . . and assumed there must be a great indoor waterslide at the pool there or something that he wanted to show her.

We hope.

Prayer request: A very nice father in his early 70s named Dick has just been diagnosed with cancer. He will have to undergo chemo. Among his adult children, one daughter lives in town and has carried the load of his care and so forth, despite her own recent messy divorce and many stresses. Lord, we pray for Dick’s healing and for his family to provide lots of help for the local daughter in this trial. Also strengthen her faith, which has become wobbly through all this, Jesus. (Rev. 2:10)
