A GRANDSON'S NEWS

My mom has 12 grandchildren, ages 29 to 5. She loves to hear from each and every one of them, from North Carolina to Oregon. She had a lot of granddaughters in a row, so she has been receiving a lot of emails lately with pictures of girls modeling prom dresses and formals, and just doing lots of girly girl things.

Then she got an email from her youngest grandson back East. He just got back from a camping trip.

He bragged to Grandma that he won “a farting contest.”

Hey! She was proud. She believes in individuality and excellence, in whatever form or fashion they come. In fact, when she hears fun things from any of her grandchildren, she thinks it’s a . . . gas.

Praise report: What a wonderful witness for life and love my brother Don gave my sister-in-law Janet last night, with a big surprise party and dinner-dance for her birthday. All their beloved friends were there from far and wide, and they led off the dancing to “Pretty Woman” by a live band. They’ve banked 30 years of marriage but they still act like newlyweds, and it’s very sweet. Father, we praise You for this model of successful marriage, well-rooted and grounded in You, and for the joy that they have given to each other, and to so many people. (Ephesians 3:17)
