Went to see Shrek 2 tonight. It was just as good, if not better, than the first. There was some sexual innuendo that I thought could have been left out. That's my taste, anyway.

We wanted to surprise the kids, so we took them for a walk to the store to get some candy. Brenden, who is 4, wanted the candy NOW! He didn't want to wait because he didn't know that we were walking to the theater for a bigger blessing. I had to stop and explain to him that mom and dad had some fun stuffed planned and he would have to trust that the fun was coming....

So, we get to the theater, and Brenden was sitting there waiting for the movie to start. He starts to fidget. Then he starts getting mad at all the advertisements and trailers. He was having a hard time understanding that the good part was coming...It was so close. If only he knew what I knew! If only I could help him understand! Waiting is a hard concept for a 4-year-old.....

...and a 36-year-old...

Maybe that's how God feels?
