i used to do my notes in outline form
(just like you're supposed to)
keeping my doodles in the margins
(just like you're supposed to)
& then they started sneaking over
(& now i don't do anything i'm supposed to :)

what's all this?
one day at 10:15
& we were driving to our church
that starts at 10:15
& we drove by a different church
that started at 10:30
& so we said
'hey why don't we try that church?'
& so we did
& in their bulletin was this statement
'for those who would like to express themselves artistically during the service there are easels & supplies in the back of the sanctuary'
& brian said
'this may be your only chance to do it'
& i stayed in my seat for a few minutes
because it was something new
& i wasn't sure
& i was scared
but then i knew brian was right
(an encouraging husband is a good thing to have:)
so i went back there
& most of the markers were dried out
but the easels were great
& i drew
& listened
& my drawing wasn't the best
or even that spiritually sound
but it was so fun to draw in church
& that stayed with me...

Hi Emily,
I left a comment on 'Emily Ruth Wonders' the last time I visited and you answered my questions, comments, in the sidebar so if that was intentional, thank you. Your books are amazing and, what a great thing for you little ones to see that this kind of paying attention is so valid and great and thank you, so much, for sharing. What a cool church to put easels in the back. I don't think mine would ever go for it.
