{Elementary} Bucket List

Bucket List
 
Few things are more useful than a bucket. A bucket is simple genius, really. There's almost no end to what you can do with a bucket. Put it on your head and you're ready to go jousting. Turn it upside down and you can reach the cookies on the top shelf. Bail water out of your boat, slop the pigs, or play trashketball with one--what you put IN the bucket is key.

So he told them to spend some quiet itme with God and listen. We had talked to them about this before, but it was always more reading your bible to get something not just quieting your heart. My oldest daught had expressed to me that she was worried that she wouldn't be able to hear God.
