Quote of the Month

"Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

If I Were President

Avery came home from school today with a homework assignment, to write a paragraph about what she would do if she were President. Some of you may remember this same assignment from when Samuel was in Kindergarten. I want you all to know that Avery came up with this all by herself. She wrote:


If I were President I would help all the people.
I would talk in a microphone and people would
listen to me. I would walk with families and kiss
all the babies. I would keep everyone safe.
And I would be very nice to people.

She's quite a clever little thing when she wants to be... I think that pretty much sums up the President's job. She also wanted to write that she would marry and bury all the people, but I explained to her that 1) She didn't have anymore room on her paper to write anything else, and 2) Those are two services usually provided by someone like Pastor George (our Pastor), and not by an elected political official. I think she was a little relieved. :-)
