Lads to Leaders awards at church

Every year our congregation as its own little awards ceremony after we return home from Lads to Leaders. Last night after evening worship services we had our version of the awards. We recognized all the young people who participated in the event in Nashville whether they placed or not. They are all winners no matter if they got a trophy or not. Christopher went up and he wanted to either speak or lead a song or something. We are not really sure since he stood there and then finally he went to where they wanted him for pictures. He is definitely going to be our clown, but he is also going to be good at whatever he decides to do. I think he is going to have a really outgoing personality. I hope he does, because I never have had one. I am more of a reserved type. He's more like his daddy, they both will pretty much talk to a stump when they want to. Mary Elizabeth got her certificates for Songs of Praise and Bible reading. She also got a medal for Good Samaritan and a ribbon for knowing the books of the Bible. SHe is more like me. I hope she learns to come out of her shell and becomes more outgoing like her daddy and brother. I know from experience it is no fun to be reserved. It may keep you out of more trouble, but you don't make friends or meet people too easily. So for her I hope she becomes more like Barry. We had a lot of fun ith the kids at the awards and look forward to it every year.
