Do good at church...Get a gun!?!

First let me say...if you read that last post, Sorry! I had just received the e-mail about the "hope" study and the comments got me wound up! I intended to inform you about what happens when you are are good in church, instead I got on a rant about the lack of "hope" our doctors had given us! :(

Anyway...several weeks ago during the hurrication, David got paid for picking up the branches from my parents yard. Last week he spent that money on a transformer thingy and had one dollar left. On Sunday morning, after we dropped Christopher and Jacob off in the nursery David went to "big" church with us. Brad was going to give him some money to put in the collection plate. (That is David's favorite part of church!) David pulled his own dollar out and said he wanted to put his in. Without being told or promted, he brought his last dollar to give at church. We are both VERY proud of him. When we got in the car Brad told David that since he gave his last dollar to church, we could go to Cabela's and get a gun! David has been wanting another gun for a long time. My parents got him one for Christmas a couple of years ago. He plays with it often and it is broken in two places. Brad and I are not big fans of guns (especially for little children) so I didn't think he would be getting another one. Brad totally surprised me by getting him a new one that shoots little pellets. David has played with it non-stop. I just think it is kind of funny that you get rewarded with guns for being good at church! :)
