Since he's been old enough to say the names of our family and friends, we've been doing what we called, "Thank you Lord" with our son.

Teaching him to say "prayers" is in the works.

Either way, every night we ask him what he's thankful for and it's interesting what he chooses. Usually it begins with Mommy and Daddy. Always a good and wise choice.

But yesterday we had a wonderful day out on Pike Lake with our friends and 9 kids. We skipped his nap so we could take him on his first boat ride. We then came back so he could play in a Jumpy House, eat roasted corn and run up and down a hill chasing bubbles.

It was a blast . So we were eager to see what he would say that night. He started the same,  "Mommy, Daddy, " he paused looked at us and then said, "bed."

We laughed. Good choice, buddy.

Here's the story:

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.

He was so consumed by the spirit of god that he fell and hit his head while worshipping.

Now a Tennessee man is suing his church for $2 point 5 million dollars for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.

He has fallen from the force of the spirit before --- but has always been caught by someone.

Lawyers for the church say other members saw him on the floor and starting laughing after his fall.

They say he failed to look out for his own safety.

This is an email I got from a viewer:

Ms. Cravy:

I listen to Fox6 while in the car, before and after work.  I still have my Albert the Alley Cat knit hat from way long ago.  So, I’m hooked on “Channel 6”.  I wanted to share something that my 14 y.o. daughter created as a project in her 8th grade Info-Media class at Frank Lloyd Wright Middle School.  Each student was to create a video as a final project. 

Rachel had periodically told me about the song she chose and “cool pictures” she had found to add to her video.  When I first clicked play, I smiled and sat up straight.  I thought, wow, she really learned a great skill.  As I watched the video, I began to cry because I realized, she really “got it” !  Please view this video, and then decide what to do after viewing it to its end.

 MY RESPONSE:

You should be a VERY proud mother. Your daughter absolutely got it! I asked if I could post it..she said yes.

"Piece, Mommy, Piece," my son begs. 

Naps and night-night require it.

And I won't some real peace, until I find  his "piece."

It's a piece made by the loving hands of my grandmother.

A small cream afghan that seems to wrap him up in a cloud. But you can only find "piece" on one corner. It's a mistake really.

His G.G. (great grandmother )says she doesn't tie off her last loop right, but he LOVES it.

He rubs "piece" in his nose and his ears and it lulls him to sleep. Weird I know.

Don't we all wish we still had our "piece."

My pastor is giving a sermon series on other World Religions. Their history, beliefs and take on Christianity.

So he asked do you think Muslims are the enemy?

.

My favorite part of Christmas is the service at our church when we turn off the lights ..light candles and sing "Silent Night." That's when I feel like it's Christmas.

All day today, I look into the faces of the people I love, and just thank the Lord for the blessings and gifts He has given us.

What was the best part of your Christmas?
