Rock Band


Remember my son who didn't want to take guitar lessons, and I MADE him? Well yesterday he was singing a different tune. He called me when he got home from school, so excited because he and three others have decided to start a rock band. It's just so cute. There are two eleven year olds, a twelve year old and a thirteen year old. They have a drummer, a bass player, a singer, and Son will be the guitar player. They are going to practice every Thursday night for an hour (not at my house, and I have mixed feelings about that) and tonight is their first night.

It was so cute to hear him on the phone last night. He was asking his friend (the other eleven year old) about the thirteen year old because he has never met him. He wanted to know if he was a "bad" kid. And then my son proceeded to lay down the law, that there would be no cussing while he was there, and it wouldn't be one of those "scream" bands or he wouldn't be in it.

I don't think any of the other boys are Christians, but I don't know for sure. My son asked me this morning if I thought this opportunity came up so that he could lead them to the Lord. I told him that could definitely be the case and that he should invite them to church with us on Wednesday nights. We have a great program for kids and youth, and my daughter frequently brings her friends.

I'm so excited for him. It is such a blessing to see God at work in my kids' lives.

Stacy, this just gave me chills. I can't imagine anything more rewarding than seeing your children's desire to bring others to Christ. Again, what a testament to your parenting and your faith.

I can't wait to hear your thoughts after you meet the girls. I'm holding my breath for you guys and I'm so excited for you!
