If You Give Your Two-year-old a Piece of Toast

If you decide to make yourself a piece of toast, your two-year-old will want one too. And if you give him a piece of toast he will ask you to put peanut butter on it. And if you put peanut butter on it he will want you to cut it into four triangles. When you sit down to eat your toast and drink your coffee he will realize he is thirsty. He will ask you for some of your coffee and juice. You will get him his own cup of juice and tell him your coffee is still too hot (whether or not it is bc you really don't want to share a single drop). He will nibble the toast up to the very edge of the apparently inedible crust getting peanut butter all over his chubby cheeks. You will sit down to finally drink your coffee and he will announce that he is all done. He will want you to get him a napkin. You will need to wipe his face for him. Then your five-year-old will decide he is hungry as well. After you get your middle child something to eat you will sit down again to enjoy your breakfast. Your two-year-old then climbs into your lap. He spots your toast and announces that he is still hungry. And chances are if he eats your peanut butter toast, he will want your coffee to go with it. It is way-too-cold to enjoy now anyways and so you let him.

February Prayer Update

And now a word from hubby....

Dear Friends,

Thank you for your interest in and prayers for our ministry work.  We couldn't keep going without you.

First of all a praise-in our December newsletter we shared our financial need to finish the year and start this one in sound financial shape.  God is faithful, and our need was completely met!  Thanks to all of you who gave and prayed for this need.

Joshua Team
Every spring we do a six-week training time called Joshua team.  When God called Joshua to take over for Moses, He repeatedly told Joshua to be 'strong and courageous'.  The goal of the Joshua Team is to help students be strong in their walks with God and courageous in sharing their faith with others.  23 students are taking part this Spring, and last week they started spiritual pizza parties.  They invite their friends and neighbors for free pizza provided they bring a question about God, the Bible, or Christianity.  They went great and the students were all encouraged.  This week they will do it again, but at the end ask if anyone would want to continue but read through the Gospel of John and seeing what Jesus claimed about himself.

Please pray for the students doing the Joshua Team:  Taylor, Jonathan, David, Hannah, James, Erica, Amir, Danielle, Bethany, Brittany, Alyssa, Allyson, Kirstin, Josh, Layne, Emylee, Kyla, Keeley, Robert, Ben, Justin, Amour, and Evan.

Also, next week we will begin surveys on campus that lead into a gospel presentation.  Please pray for boldness and that we would proclaim the gospel clearly.
