At the beginning of the school year our church invites students, teachers, all school personnel and anyone else to get prayed over and have their backpacks blessed.  Hey, we realized, we have backpacks!  So we took them to church on Sunday night for the blessing, made a craft, ate hotdogs and chicken nuggets for supper and participated in the family game.  It was a delightful evening.  I guess now we’re really on our way.
