say again...

This weekend was a whirlwind of wacky words. The kids, adults, even pastors had some great phrases, words, and thoughts to share. The best part: they are ALL organic. No preservatives. No extra sugar. No additives. Just great stuff...when you listen.
• “Auntie, keep sneezing. I want to bless you.” ~ Joshua B.
• “The brother who loved me took me to Sunday school. He loved me because he let me go to church with him.” ~ Julius
• Lynate taught me a new word after feeling my neck.
o Bissela= the soft part of the neck
• “This is heaven.” (Said while the lights came up on the worship band and pastor at church.) ~ Godfrey and Lubega
• “I’ve never seen a U-haul attached to a hearse. We don’t take our treasures with us.” ~ Pastor Ron
• Pastor Ron discussed the identities of man today in his two week series, “Save the Males.” One of the Hebrew words he mentioned during his message spoke about the male anatomy. “If it’s in the Bible, I’m gonna talk about it.” He continued by mentioning the reason for circumcision for Abraham. At this point, this topic flew over most of the kids’ heads, but their vocabulary is growing. Godfrey needed clarification, “Is circumcised the same as circumstance? What is circumcise?” I assured him the words meant different things, but asked him to remind me of the second question on the bus. I haven’t finished that conversation, but the Uncles are definitely on stand-by.
• “I have 8 dimples.” Godfrey said this pointing to his face cheeks and then his six pack. We’ll work on that.
• “ONE!” All the kids have numbers which they count down when we travel to keep track of each child. Today we had lunch at church, and the children sat scattered throughout the room. So instead of trying to gather them for introductions, we had them go in order of their count-down numbers. Lubega did not catch that we wanted his name before shouting out his number. He got lots of laughs and then another chance for his name.
