I strolled past my daughter’s room and was surprised to find her in her pajamas. The time? 1:30 PM. And she declared that she didn’t want to go anywhere or do anything…there was just too much on her plate.

I mean, it had been a tough morning. We were a little late to a church event and missed out on an Easter Egg hunt. And a few of her new Pokemon cards were disappointingly “fake.” (If you shine a flashlight on them, counterfeits are quickly transilluminated…this is apparently an important piece of information if you’re going to become a Pokemon Master). And a few pages of her well-loved Power Bible #7 were accidentally torn away from the binding.

These relentless trials could beleaguer even the most resolute pilgrims…best to just call it a day
