{Choosing the Right, finally?}

Today marked the start of a new {Primary} year at church.  Big changes, most notably that Olivia is no longer in Nursery and is finally a Sunbeam!  Also, Will graduated from the Sunbeams and is officially a CTR. CTR 4, to be exact.

When we picked up the kids from their classes, they both had so much to tell us about their new teachers, new class names, etc. etc.  Will had a picture of the CTR crest that he colored.  At the bottom, he drew a picture of a "Sunbeam" (which looks remarkably like his snowflakes & seashells).  It had a line drawn through it and he asked, "Do you know why I drew this? Because ERNT! no more Sunbeams!"  On the way home Olivia, taking a page from her big brother announced, "ERNT! no more Nursery!"

Phil asked Will what CTR stands for and he answered, "Choose the Right." Following up, Phil asked him "So, if you had a choice between yelling at your sister or not yelling at your sister, which would be the right choice?"

"NOT yelling at my sister!" Will answered gleefully.

"That's right, Will. That's Choosing the Right."

Without missing a beat, Will replied, "Good thing I went to church!"
