Everything is Reality Shows on TV today. I have a suggestion for the inventors of such trivia. Seek out grandparents in only fairly good health. Lock them in with a two-year old grandchild for one week.See which ones can survive without physical violence enacted on themselves or each other, or the child. Guards will need to be posted at each residence. They must both be at least seventy. Winners receive an all-expense paid trip to a place of their choice, as far from the child as they can go. Ann and I will sign up. We just did it! It was actually lots of fun. Calvin Duprie was a model boy. He is fun-loving, obedient (most of the time) and inventive. He is curious. He does not speak a language we can understand, but he can certainly get his point over. It was a difficult, but great week. This afternoon we are traveling to Nixon to have him there when his Mom and Dad and sister and brother get home late tonight from Puerto Rico.
I am playing the part of Simeon in our church Easter pageant. Simeon was an old, old man whom God had promised would see the Messiah before he died. One day Simeon saw Him. He was a baby. His parents brought Him to the Temple. One of my lines is this, "I wonder if He knows who He really is...Man of Sorrows". I wondered so much about Calvin. Knowing I would not see his adult years here on earth, I could not help but wonder the direction his life would go; the world he would see and know in 2029. I know this: His parents will seek to lead him to find a path that is good. They will introduce him to God and His Son. They will show him, as best a parent can, how to make good choices. I know Calvin doesn't know who he really is.. BUT God does!
