It's Gonna Be A Long Haul

Today Ben was sitting at the kitchen table eating lunch when out of the blue he said, "I'm tired of learning about forgiveness!" He had a rotten scowl on his face and laid his head down on the table as if in exhaustion. When I asked him what he meant, he told me, "That's all we ever learn about--at church, at preschool, even at MOPS today they talked about forgiveness." His lesson today at MOPS was about the Prodigal Son in the Bible and how the father forgave his son. I hate to tell him that for the rest of his life he will hear the same Bible stories over and over. The scriptures don't change.
