So last month I won tickets to the Rocking Worship Roadshow. Sadly the concert was on the first night of my college marketing class so I couldn’t go. So my 9 year old son, my husband, brother in law and his son went to the concert instead. It was actually a great way for the boys to get together and actually do something fun. Since Diaz’s passing, we’ve been spending more and more time w/ the family, which is great, but it’s still so hard sometimes to get past the sadness. So I thought they might need something fun to do, so I knew it would be a chance for them to do something uplifting, and what a great way to spend the night, worshiping w/ your sons! (and for free!) Thanks Star 93.3!
A few days before this, a friend sent Caleb a flat stanley. If you aren’t familiar with it, you do fun things with it (it’s a paper person) and take pictures, then write a letter telling of your adventures and send it back to the sender. Caleb decided it would be fun to take his Stanley to the concert. This Flat Stanley had come all the way from Columbia MD and was going to take a trip out past Dayton OH to a worship concert. How cool is that? And even better, this letter was going to get sent not just back to my son’s friend, but it goes to the friend’s school. So it gets shared with the class. So, my son is actually sharing his worship experience with a class of 2nd graders who may have no idea what worship is, and Zach will get the chance to tell them. I think that is the coolest thing ever! So, my eldest son Caleb, wrote this letter to his friend Zach in Maryland. I was impressed with his writing. He’s pretty witty, like his mom, when it comes to writing. I love to see what he comes up with when he sits down and just writes. He can’t always communicate well face-to-face, but if you give the boy the chance to sit and write, he can make it happen. Sounds like someone else I know….. Wanted to share.
PS
I love that he wrote a PS. Don’t know where he came up w/ that idea, or how he learned it!
Dear Zach,
I had lots of fun with flat Stanley. One of the coolest things we did was go to see a concert. The concert we went to see was the Rocking Worship Road-show.the bands that played were Mercy Me, Jars of clay, 1,000 foot krutch,and one more that I don’t know of .The first picture of Flat Stanley was when we were on our way to the concert. The second picture is of Me,Caleb,My dad ,my uncle Darin, and my cousin Wally..The two other pictures you can’t see him that well, but he’s there. Aren’t the lights crazy! If flat Stanley was there he would probably get a headache.Ok.I had lots of fun with Flat Stanley.I hope you can send him next year too, Zach .I’ll miss him a lot!
Your bestest friend,
Caleb
P.S.Flat Stanley is probably tired from the long ride home so make sure he gets a lot of rest.And tell him I miss him
