PICTURE OF THE DAY INFO
5 comments:
Look at that little bookworm! You could read like nothin' else! You didn't even understand what you read because the words were way beyond your vocab and yet you read and read just for the sake of reading! Ha Ha Ha! And there's the proof! I don't believe I have EVER seen this picture! What else do you have, girl?!
I might add, THAT is primarily why I read at a crawl to this day! Every moment I could snaggle you into it, you would read to me! Even when we were really quite passed the being-read-to age! You'd go through those serial stories in the "Sunday at Home" book that were designed to frighten tender consciences into godly living! I really think those authors knew nothing of grace! They lived by the law and taught by the scary law! Sheesh! I could tremble to this day just remembering some of those be-sure-your-sins-will-find-you-out plots!
Do you know who the guys are in the pic behind us? I know Joseph Gedexwie (don't you just love spelling out those names!!!?) is behind Gord but who are the others? I guess I was too small to really know and remember them!
You just never know what is hiding in the picture box at my house!
I do always love your comments about these old pics! Yes, I can remember reading 7th grade books before I started school. I do not know how I learned to read but almost feel like I was born knowing how.
I will just have to get out my big old copy of "The Sunday at Home" and refresh my memory about those scary tales, Carol-Ann! Law and grace have a delicate balance. It is so easy to fall on the law side without meaning to when trying to keep young people from doing wrong things that will negatively impact the rest of their lives... But I have to admit I need to reread to remember! I must not have been as impressionable as you!
Re the people in the pic: Joseph is the only one I know, probably because we also knew him when we were older. To me, Joseph was like a big brother. He kept an eye on us, scolded us, tried to help us keep out of trouble, and sometimes even helped us hide little misdeeds from Mum and Dad who might have punished (is that grace or thwarted law??!) He was good-natured and mild-mannered. When I was real little, I somehow mixed up his name and called him "Seph-Jo" and that was his nickname for a long time!
