COVID, Guinea Fowl and Power Outages

 "This it water, not COVID."  Gulp. Gulp. Gasp.

"COVID water is real." Nodding assertively.

"If you drink it, then you'll have COVID!" (All smiles.)

"Bye, Mom!"

Elijah told me that his stomach was hurting last night.

"Maybe it's because you feel bad about something you did and need to repent?" I gently suggested. "Why don't you say a prayer?"

"Dear Heavenly Father,

]I'm sorry that I was mean to the guinea fowl today.

I'm sorry that I shouted at them.

I'm sorry that I threw rocks at them.

I'm sorry that I chased them.

I'll try never to do that again."

No wonder the guinea fowl were unhappy today.  The things you learn when you listen to your kid's prayers.

The power went off Sunday night and was still off when we went to sleep.

It came back on at 2:33 am.  Do you know how we knew that?

Xai came rushing around the house to declare the good news to everyone!

He'll be a great missionary.  He'll just need to learn about the timing of his approach.
