It all began in worship...

So here I was, sitting in worship listening to the sermon and realized that I had witnessed another set of "We Made It" eyes just across the pew.  If you are the parent of 1 or more children, you have made these eyes one time or another.  The "won't somebody give me a cookie" thoughts running through your eyes as you at he same time realize your hose don't match.  It's all good though!  Why?  Because you made it!  You made it to church despite the mornign routine and all that could or did go wrong with it.  You should get a cookie!

This is when I thought about seeking a corner of the bulletin for encouraging parents to be in worship.  A little column that acknowledged that they deserved a cookie.  Then I looked at the bulletin.  It was so full of other awesome stuff, that this little tidbit corner would be lost.  Facebook?  Maybe...but a blog where I could post things along the way, make a "helpful tip" corner and post some pictures as they came in, well that would be way more fun.

So, here it is the first entry.  I promise to make this a regular.  Topics that should be arriving soon include:  Socks and Shoes, You Used to Be 2, and Making It A Routine.  Please feel free to post your stories and helpful tips!  None of us do this alone and all of us as Christian brothers and sisters ultimately want to make it to worship each week. 

Take care and I look forward to the witnessing we can do together!
