Ace's Angel Moments

Just two moments of sweetness from my monkey man--

The other day we were at church and were walking toward the door. Ace pointed up at the steeple and said "Cwoss". I said "Yes, that is a cross." He mumbled something else and pointed again. I repeated what I had said before and he said, "No, mama. That's God."

Ace has one of those echo microphones that you get at the bargain bin in Target and it had broken so I bought him a replacement. He had left it by the front door with the diaper bag and we were all getting ready to go out and he had been asking to go to Wal-Mart. We were actually going to church and I told him that. He was waiting for us by the front door and picked up the microphone and said, "Wal-Mart, I love you."

And in those two moments we can see the fight for Christmas between the church and commercialism.
