“Everybody name one thing that’s more important than baseball starting with the oldest,” Jarod almost shouted to be heard in the back of the van over the sound of wind and traffic. The ac had died the week before.
Zeke, “Jesus and Noah’s birthday.” It was in fact Noah’s birthday and we were running late for ball practice because of eating his birthday dinner of pizza. But there had been no complaining this time. Birthdays are well loved in our home.
Lily Beth, “Everybody!”
Elisha, “Saving babies is more important than baseball.” Our kids are actively praying against the abortion industry and it surfaces in many conversations.
Mary Frei, after a pause of several seconds,”Brushing your hair is more important than baseball!”
Laughter erupted, voices cracked in a failed attempt to move onto the next child. It’s never dull or serious for long around our house!
