A Spring of Joy

We were at youth group one Sunday, and Asher and his friend, Naomi, were eating supper together. Asher asked Naomi if she had beans on her plate, and she said, “Yep.” To which Asher loftily replied, “You don’t say yep, you say yes, ma’am.” That’s okay, Naomi got him back later when Asher asked for a cupcake, to which Naomi spouted, “You have to finish your hot dog first.” Ahhhhh, I think they’re a match made in heaven.

Asher on… Dreams: “Mommy, I was watching a movie in my head.”

Asher on… Singing: “Teach me some more lasagna”

The rain is not obeying God.

Can I climb over the rainbow and touch the sun?
