First, go read this, which is not related to the pageant but is good for you and then come back. I’ve been considering to myself over the last few weeks What it is about the Christmas Pageant. Or to put it another way, What is it about the Christmas Pageant? Why do I get so geared up and run around with so much energy this time of yea?. When you mention the word ‘shopping’ I get all tired and procrastinating... Read more
Here I am reading a Bible Story to the children in the evening. Matt has determined that we will read the whole Bible, not just a children’s version, hard as it will be.

It was $30 at Target... Read more

You can see the poor child has been trying to read the Story of the World vol. 1. No wonder he’s exhausted. Also, he screamed for half an hour after church because he was told he was going to be a sheep in the Pageant and his brother was going to be a Herodian guard. Turns out they are now both going to be Herodian guards for a total of three guards and one less sheep. The baby, naturally, is... Read more
