Small victories
Family prayer, sigh. I can't really complain, I mean all of the kids show up at 8:45pm each night. It's just that no matter how many times we ask our oldest daughter, Sarah to speak a little louder when she prays, we get no improvement. I know, I sound like I'm being critical but take last week for example.
It was Sarah's night to pray and she shoved her face so far down into the couch that we honestly couldn't hear a word she was saying. In fact, she got up and left while the rest of the family stayed kneeling around the couch. Finally we heard her bedroom door slam and looked up to realize she had not only finished praying, but left! We decided that we definitely had to do something...
My husband got an idea and could barely wait until this week when it was Sarah' s turn to pray again. As we finished reading scriptures and kneeled down, he casually asked whose night it was. When Sarah said it was her night, he kept a straight face and handed her the microphone he had set up next to the couch. And luckily everyone, including Sarah busted out laughing.
"Great, amplified muttering," Heather commented. But amplified muttering or not, at least we knew when she was finished praying.

That's so funny!! Great idea, Bub! I'm amazed that she actually used it! We are always saying, "Slow down"!
Amazing! YOu guys are hiliarious! Did she really use it???
Yup, she actually used the microphone. Then Nicholas went into the whole Bill Cosby "Noah" routine...
