Sunday we did that with two couples and took a table for six. Sunday is always a good day at the HOME because they fluff the menu up on the Lord's day.
During table talk, I think someone asked for a Will story. Or, it COULD be that I volunteered one. But here's the story:
Our favorite Kindergartener came for an overnighter last week. I was getting my love tank filled while he and I were piled up in the recliner watching a Nature show about the great cats.
Will's particular favorite now is watching "Wild Kratts" on PBS and he can tell you about every animal...how fast they run, what they eat, how it compares to other animals in that species, etc. Will especially likes cheetahs and leopards.
Here's a random thought alert. I'm smiling now because I'm thinking of a friend's saying about how "all old crows think their babies are the blackest". But really. This grandboy is bright and does have a killer vocab.
Now back to the recliner. All at once the narrator stated a fact and that little head popped up as if an alarm had gone off. "Well, THAT'S awkward that they would say that because cheetahs don't go ___ miles per hour, they go ___ miles per hour." (Of course Mimi can't even remember the facts, but I'm sure Will was right because doesn't he look like a scientist with those big glasses?)
So as I'm telling this story around the Sunday lunch table, our friend Karen said "Oh, Will must be a Berean". We all said "WHUT?"
Karen told us when the apostle Paul went to Berea, the people there received his message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. Those Bereans were thinkers and so is our Will.
MAY WE ALL BE SEARCHERS OF TRUTH.
