A LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM

Would you think me a Mimi if I told you Will was a genius?

This little feller is only two, but is putting words together in sentences.  Many of his words are about trains and he doesn't like to leave home without a fistful.

One of the first times we noticed Will making sentences was when he was gibbering something and his mother/translator said "read Bible?".  Will said "Becky Bible"...and Beth said "Miss Becky reads the Bible?".  He beamed.  He likes it when we get things.

Last week Mike and I took Will to "school" so that Beth could sub for the Benchmark testing.  Miss Becky and Miss Linda are Will's teachers that he ADORES on Tuesday/Thursday mornings.  The church program is called Play Learn.

As we turned onto College Avenue, Will brightened and said "Becky house?"  Yes, the good news was we were going to Becky's "house".  As Mike let us off at the door, I couldn't stop him.  He and the other little toddlers went RUNNING into the church.  Will was grinning and hollering over and over "Becky house!  Becky house!".

He went straight into his room and over to the observation table which had a carton of fat, wriggling worms. What a great way to draw children in!  No wonder Will was pumped.  It made me want to stay and play and learn.

Old kids should also draw near to what is good, too.  "I rejoiced with those who said to me, 'Let us go to the house of the Lord'.  Let's go running like Will!
