"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Grant's Prayer

Last night was a hard one for Grant.  He wacked Mom in the face, told Ellie she was stinky, and went potty in the middle of the living room floor for full effect.  Needless to say he was in trouble a few times.

This morning when he was saying his prayer, it went like this:

"Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for my Mom and Dad.  I like them now.  You don't have to send new ones anymore...."

Am I wrong in thinking that after last night he was ready to trade us in?
