It’s that time again, time for another rousing edition of Things I Want To Complain About! Here’s what’s been bugging me lately: 1. People who massage each other in church.

Holy, Holy, Holy
Sydney, 6, has been learning to read high frequency words in kindergarten. These are words like in, the, my, little, etc. As we were sitting in church last Sunday, she started finding a lot of these words in the bulletin. It’s exciting to see her learning!
