The Plague of Children And Other Things

I wanted to share a few random things heard in the Bishop Home ....

*Mama says "What did you learn at Bible Study Fellowship today, Ephraim?"

Ephraim says "Another plague in Egypt..."

Mama says "What was the plague that God sent?"

Ephraim says "The plague of children".

(Ephraim had heard the story of the Passover and the plague of the death of the first born.)

*Ephraim when trying to use the bathroom... "I need some privacy".

*Ephraim "What's that spell with?" When he wants to know with what letter a word begins.

*Carson "Can we watch some TV on demand?"

*Carson "Let's look that up..." When Carson wants to learn something... we look online, we look in a great big animal book Aunt Maria bought, and of course we look in the Bible too.

*Carson "Don't forget to pray for..." Carson is always remembering some one for which we need to pray.

*Carson "I did it..." It can be a number of things, because Carson is really learning to do a lot these days. He has learned to ride his bike without training wheels (for the first time at Aunt Maria's). He has learned to ride a horse. He has much improved his reading skills. He has learned to swallow a pill too.

*Carson "Can we read in the reading tent?" He loves to read in the tent in our basement.

*Carson "Can we make...." Carson is always building. He helps his brother build train tracks. He loves to work with Legos and tinker toys too. Last night he built a giraffe out of his Connectigans. (see picture above).

*Carson and Ephraim "Can we go out and help Daddy?" They love to go out and help their dad especially since he is working so hard in the yard these days with the sprinkler system.

*Troy after a long hard day at work and then a few hours in the yard working on the sprinkler system (with a bad cold to boot) "God has given me good weather to work on the yard, I am going to give Him my time now". Troy spent the rest of the evening working diligently on his Bible Study.
