From the sublime to the ridiculous...

This morning was really amazing. I think it goes down as one of my favorite Otter Creek mornings. Tim did a great job and really "pastored" today. We had a time of guided meditation that was really great. It is amazing how just stillness before the Lord can be such a blessing. After the morning I felt calm and a peace that could only be of the Holy Spirit.

We went to eat at the Chinese buffet we love so much in Green Hills. At lunch, Maddie asked about the power point background to one of the songs this morning. It's an old art piece showing Jesus on the cross with the wound in His side. I used it for the background to "We Fall Down". Maddie was concerned. She kept asking about the blood and his wound. It was a really cool thing to talk about. How he went through that because he loves us. She was even more concerned at this point. She wanted to get him a "boo-boo" (bandaid) and asked if she could blow Him kisses while He was on the cross. It may sound a little off, but I know He must have thought it was so sweet. It was her best offering.

Of course, we left the buffet and the conversation went right back to "poop", "poo-poo". Alas--aren't we the same?
