Listen to someone you don't want to

Roughly, that was Fr. B's message at church. He handed out ear plugs to the kids and said all to often we don't listen to each other. Politicians don't listen to each other. In honor of two presidential candidates, he said we need to listen to each other in more ways than one. We enjoyed a wonderful afternoon at the church picnic with our church family. That's exactly how it felt, like family. It was great to visit with so many people. Everyone was relaxed and there was happiness in the air. My children had a terrific time. They didn't want to leave. We missed Seven's soccer game. We made it to Five and Eight. Everyone was in a great mood for most of the day. Things got a little questionable after so much fun, but a bike ride before bedtime helped.
