Emma's understanding of Romans 3:23

Since our church doesn't have any Wednesday or Sunday night services, our girls attend the church where Emma attends preschool for Awana Clubs on Wednesday nights. They love it and they are doing so well memorizing their verses. Last night we were working on Romans 3:23 "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Well, since Emma is only four, the Cubbies handbook only makes them memorize the first part of the verse, All have sinned. We were discussing this verse and what it meant. Hannah was explaining that all meant everyone, every single person except Jesus had done wrong things. This led to a discussion on how everyone in our family had sinned sometime that day. We asked Emma if she had sinned. Sure enough, she had. She said, "Well, I think I sended someone a letter in the mail. I sinned it to them in the mailbox!" Whoa, we were missing the mark! Eventually she came around and realized sinned was different from send and we had a grammar lesson during our Bible study. How concrete her mind works!



I am trying to assemble the girls' scrapbook and go back and fill in pages where I need more etc. I want to have it up to date by the end of this month so I can start planning for the holidays and the baby! I want to be able to scrap fall pictures, Thanksgiving, a few school activities and Christmas and be done for the year! So, I am trying to compile everything so far into a photobook and save it and upload the new pages when the time comes. I am working on the design for the cover of the book right now. I saw this idea on someone else's site and thought it looked great on her book. But, when I look at it for my book, I'm not sure if I'm going to use it or not. She had taken lots of the pages from her book and shrunk them, so that on her cover, she created a huge collage of the pages printed inside the book. The book will be 12 x 12 so although the individual pictures in the collage are tiny, I think they will be visible and clear. Let me know what you think. I liked it so much on her book but for some reason, my pages don't flow together very well. I'm not sure if I like it enough to use it as the cover. Most books just have a picture of the kids on the front with some text. I wanted something different, but I'm not sure this is it. The bottom row is white because I'm saving room for fall and Christmas pages to go there.
