Thank you for sharing this story and you must be very proud of your son Zack.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I am going to try that gum chewing thing at Jackson's next soccer game. Trouble is, he is only 6 but I still get so "Mamabearish" sometimes, especially when those "big kids" (they are only 6 too but he is just little) take him out at the knees! ;)<BR/><BR/>PLEASE let me know if you visit your family here in town so we can meet!!! I'd just love to chat awhile!Wife of the Pres.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18325629674978160122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1164043762250762998.post-10873879135559999902008-10-22T23:45:00.000-04:002008-10-22T23:45:00.000-04:00WOW WOW WOW!!!!What an amazing story.

What an amazing God.<BR/><BR/>I've been listening to Toby Mac all week and thought of this song for the young man who owns the "original" Ipod.

Thanks for sharing!<BR/><BR/>Recently, my little one was attached to a particular library book - so much so that she took it in the car, in her room, etc., instead of keeping it in our library book bag with the others. Well, you guessed it, she lost it. Then one night, the night before we planned to do an all out search, we prayed for God to help us find it, and the next morning I moved a certain toy, and there it was. My little girl was so excited. I believe that God is in the little details as much as the big ones. I believe that He led me to that book to show her just that! He cares so much.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02776925630204534781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1164043762250762998.post-58308783988424330312008-10-22T21:50:00.000-04:002008-10-22T21:50:00.000-04:00Hi Sharla--Great story!

He does like to give us good gifts and showers us with blessing after blessing. i know that I will refer to this story in the future when encouraging my sons to choose to do the right thing.<BR/>Make sure Zack writes this down for himself!!! He will need to be reminded of God's faithfulness always!<BR/>Blessings to you,<BR/>NaomiNaomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12114223431580415336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1164043762250762998.post-43511612775781426192008-10-22T17:34:00.000-04:002008-10-22T17:34:00.000-04:00I was so excited when I heard this story I screame...I was so excited when I heard this story I screamed! Then i had to read it... aloud.. to the whole family. When I read about your eyes welling up, mine did too! If I wasn't sending my kids in 3 different directions tonight and trying to get back home at the time my friend arrives from Chicago.... I so wanted to call you!<BR/><BR/>Oh,and, my whole body was one huge goosebump. I am going to have to go shave my legs now. (remember when I said that to you right before you went to China!)<BR/><BR/>How great is that that God would show himself to Zack like that!!

I may do that in the near future.

If math teachers still do this, you might ask one to engrave the Ipod with Zach's name to help future sticky fingers just walk away.Preppy Pink Crocodilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01396889798988617272noreply@blogger.com
