K'nex update

Apparently, I was correct in originally assuming that K'nex and Parker would not necessarily get along. Parker likes for things to come easily, or it is not worth it to him. And why not, everything else has always come easily and if it doesn't, why bother? So,
Ferris Wheel:Fun,
Roller Coaster:Not so fun.
He said tonight that he wishes he could just take it back to the store and get his money back. Oh well, he still likes the RipStik.

2 friends are talking:

Parker sounds like my oldest son (who is almost 9). Most things come easily to him and the things that don't he doesn't do anymore. My younger son has loved his Lego sets and will really stick it out. He's good with his hands and has patience. Now I'm just wishing that they both had something like the RipStik, so they'd stop spending so much time inside with the Wii.

Andrea Parker is half Udy, you can't deny genetics. Our family's coat of arm says If Something Is Hard- Give Up! It's in latin though, so my translation is rough, but let's face it-those are words to live by. Cross Into the Blue!

"I am one of [Jesus Christ's] witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."--Bruce R. McConkie, "The Purifying Power of Gethsemane"

"...we must be careful, as we seek to become more and more godlike, that we do not become discouraged and lose hope. Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible. The scriptures record remarkable accounts of men whose lives changed dramatically, in an instant... But we must be cautious as we discuss these remarkable examples. Though they are real and powerful, they are the exception more than the rule. For every Paul, for every Enos, and for every King Lamoni, there are hundreds and thousands of people who find the process of repentance much more subtle, much more imperceptible. Day by day they move closer to the Lord, little realizing they are building a godlike life. They live quiet lives of goodness, service, and commitment. They are like the Lamanites, who the Lord said "were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and theyknew it not." (3 Ne. 9:20; italics added.)"--Ezra Taft Benson, "A Mighty Changeof Heart"
