Last week we were grabbing some clothes for the kids at Old Navy. While we were checking out I looked over and realized the kids were standing amidst the main clothing display acting like mannequins and trying to freak people out who entered the store. What can I say? I have wacky kids.
I’m a follower of Jesus Christ. I live in Gaithersburg, Maryland, with an amazing wife and three wacky, fun kids. I'm a pastor at Covenant Life Church. I’m also a writer.
My friend Donald Miller shares a helpful tip for writers: get a kitchen timer. Don explains, "When I have two or three writing assignments I just make a list, then pick one, then set my little timer for an hour or twenty minutes or whatever amount of time that specific assignment will cost me. And then, while the timer is ticking away on my desk, I don't let myself do anything else....When the timer goes off, I decide whether I want to keep working on it, or move on. It's a simple tool, but it works." Read more.
Tim Challies asks whether he's ready to address his Google search history with God. "What would I say to him if he were to ask me about the things I have gone looking for online? Could I tell him with confidence that what I have sought is an indication of a heart that is aligned with his purposes? Or would I have to confess that my searches point to a heart that is drawn to what is evil and perverse?" Read the post.

That's awesome! They've been trained well!
very cute-miss you guys!
very funny indeed
You should be proud. Eccentricity is the sign of a well developed, highly creative mind! (I'm a weird one too!)
Cute!!
I just talked to mannequins when I was a child. I thought they were real...
They get their creativity from Mom and Dad! May they use it for God's glory too.
That is awesome. Looks like they're doing a pretty good job of it, too.
Aw, I miss you guys!
LOL. We did that not less than a month ago as well. We couldn't resist.
They're the cutest ever!
so cute:)
Awesome!! Too Cute..
your kids are genius!
Hahahaha, I love this.
Greetings,
This reminds me of my little siblings, who like to tease the mannequins standing around doing nothing. I like the 'pretend to be a dummy' joke, but I don't think it would work too well for us... we don't dress anything like them. :)
Thank you for the picture! They are cute.
With joy and peace in Christ,
