Mothers Who Know

"Mothers who know" do less. They permit less of what will not bear good fruit eternally. They allow less media in their homes, less distraction, less activity that draws their children away from their home. Mothers who know are willing to live on less and consume less of the world’s goods in order to spend more time with their children—more time eating together, more time working together, more time reading together, more time talking, laughing, singing, and exemplifying. These mothers choose carefully and do not try to choose it all. Their goal is to prepare a rising generation of children who will take the gospel of Jesus Christ into the entire world. Their goal is to prepare future fathers and mothers who will be builders of the Lord’s kingdom for the next 50 years. That is influence; that is power." ~Julie Beck

Darren



September was the month of DARREN... to begin with he had his Eagle Court of Honor.
It was such a neat night. I am so proud of the young man he has become. He had LOTS of people there to support him and not only did he have sugar treats we served Del Taco tacos and slurpees! What 17 year old doesn't love that? Kathryn even decorated a cake for the center piece.

Then his birthday was on the 19th. Some of his 'girl' friends gave him a hat, balloons and had a surprise party for him. It was really fun and I'm glad that he has these people in his life.

The next week was Homecoming and he went with Katie Wankier and doubled with Kenneth Stock and Jaden. They watched movies for their day date and then went to Texas Roadhouse and then the dance.
He has been working at my school as a sweeper which is helping him raise money for his choir trip to Seattle next April. I'm glad that he is driving and can help get people where they need to be.
