Big, Tough God
Tonight Eli offered to say grace before dinner. We all held hands and Eli proceeded with a nice long prayer... which included the following:
"And God, we know that you are so tough and nobody can beat you up, cos you will just beat them up worser..."
I couldn't help but be bouncing up and down in silent laughter while Eli finished his prayer. When he opened his eyes he got cranky at me for laughing at his prayer. I blamed my laughter on something else (Clayton's crumb-covered fingers).
Eli loves battles and stuff, so every game he plays, and most things he thinks about (yes, even God) he somehow manages to relate back to battles and fighting etc.
That's just our Eli.

Sounds like Eli has a competitive spirit Brett.
It's great when kids say grace. We have 3 kids (now aged 27, 28 & 30). We used to take it in turns to say grace, but a better set up than that was when we made it that we took it in turns to CHOOSE someone to say grace! Kids could even choose themselves. It worked for us.
Maybe catch up with you one day.
God bless you and your family.
