Speaking of Boys

Our Looper Email has included a discussion on characteristics of boys. This kind of fits right in.

Our sermon today covered John the Baptist. He talked about how all of our needs are met just as John the Baptist's were met in the wilderness. Our pastor during a portion of the sermon asked the rhetorical question: "Who of you would want to go into the wilderness with John the Baptist, wearing camel skins and eating locusts?"

To which I heard the whispered reply from the Snake Hunter sitting behind me: "Pick me!"

Then we found out later the Survivor Boy was *thinking* "Pick me!" But, he was the acolyte, so he kept himself under control.

After church the three boys were outside building a lean-to out of branches that had fallen from trees. Survivor Boy even had his hatchet and was chopping the branches to the right size. By the time we were all ready to leave the Little Professor could fit inside the lean-to!
