well, max says

yesterday isaiah and i got into a discussion about how we don't say the LORD's name unless we are referencing him. we talked about how big and great and awesome God is. at one point i mentioned the 10 commandments and how one of them says that we aren't supposed to say God's name unless we are addressing or talking about him.

isaiah seemed to get it and then moved on to playing on his own. about 5 minutes later he said, 'mom, max says that there are only 2 commandments. love God and love others.'

'max?! who the heck is max'? i'm thinking. isaiah's spot on, you can summarize the 10 commandments into these two, but who is this max that's speaking into my son's life? thinking i heard wrong i said...'isaiah, who said that?'

matter of factly he replied, 'max'.

and then it came flooding to me. for alaythia's birthday her cousin caleb sent her a new video. hermie and friends. before the video begins a man comes on and talks about these things, he also created the series....

max lucado. well-known author and pastor.

apparently isaiah is on a first name basis with him!

Oh that Max. I used to quote him too. I think our church of Christ youth group read and discussed all his books.

Your boy cracks me up.

Too funny. We have this video, too, but our Isaiah only quotes the funny things! :) Always the jokester.

I had to comment on this one! I'm up all alone, should be sleeping but laughing out loud! So Isaiah is on a first name basis with Max, hey? You're a great writer Natalie!
