Do that again!


Emmy and I took in the Pop Goes the Wiggles show on Saturday. Emmy sat spell-bound throughout the show. We enjoyed their palpable sincerity and simplicity. After warming up slowly, Emmy finally took to the floor and danced along with the characters on stage - to the evident delight of several adults sitting around us. When it was over she said: "Do dat again, Daddy". I would have, but that was the last show!


During the show, a parents rebuke sparked his child's outburst behind me. This reminded me of the imperative to catch the heart of the matter - to understand what God intends for each situation, event and person. Especially my children. This is why it's necessary for me to spend time with Jesus every day, before the day begins, or I end up simply responding out of my spirit, instead of His.

Hoop dee doo! God speaks, even at a Wiggles concert!
