...in the beginning...

well ... i've decided to enter the world of blog.

drew and ben (and soon alex) provide us with hours of entertainment and i feel it only fair to share that entertainment and craziness with you!

SO ... to start things off ...

the hot topics at our house for the past few weeks have been heaven and hell. drew asks question after question. PLUS ... he's got an overwhelming concern for ben. he wants to make sure that ben is going to heaven with him.

SO ... that led to the following conversation

drew: hey ben do you want to ask jesus into your heart?
ben: yes
drew: ok repeat after me...dear
ben: dear
drew: jesus
ben: jesus
drew: please
ben: please
(at this point you can tell ben is starting to get annoyed that drew is making it SO simple)
drew: take
ben: take
drew: a
ben: way :)
drew: my
ben: my
drew: sins
ben: sin
drew: sssssssssssssssssssss
ben: sins
... and so the conversation continued. they got to the very end and a very serious drew says "ok ben. good job. now ... you might still go to hell"
te he he.
i don't know if he wasn't confident in his abilities or if he just wasn't sure himself.
either way it warms my heart to see how much love he has for ben and how much ben looks up to him. it reminds me that it isn't in the words we say or how we say them .. it's what's in your heart :)

we're on a fun journey guys ... i hope that through this blog you can see some of the craziness that we call daily life at the barnett house and that we can provide you with a smile every now and then :) i'll leave you with a few pictures :)
