I recall a young lad had tied a mop end around a dog and ran in the house screaming there's a lion in the front yard... His Dad and the whole family (all 11 of them ran out) and there was the dog with mop end around it's neck...
His Dad said Son... You lied to us... You need to go up to your room and repent.. and when you feel that the Lord has suffeciently forgiven you.. then you can come back downstairs...
The boy showed back up downstairs a few minutes later...
"Son" the Dad said... "Has the Lord forgiven you?"
"Yes".. the Boy replied... "and also He told me when he first saw it..

Elder Steadfast, John Robert came to me the other night during altar service and told me the Lord had spoken to him.
I asked him what the Lord had said, and he told me, "He said that if i would make good decisions and not take the wrong road He would make me a good preacher."
That boy is a case.
It did sound like something the Lord would say, though.
You doubtin' it?
That is so precious....I do hope you guys are writing all these memories down!

Honestly, I've never heard of running over your own ears before. I did have an uncle that bit a chunk out of his own... shall we say... 'rump roast'? I saw him sitting down really gently and asked if his back was hurting him. The replied the sad state of affairs that had led him to the acute injury: He got false teeth and, not being used to them, spit them out sometime in the night. The next morning he awaked he sat up on the edge of the bed... which happened to be directly on top of his 'uppers' which were slightly separated from the 'lowers' and the result was he bit his own... well... you get the picture. Tore a two and a half inch chunk out!
"Again I say unto you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them of My Father in Heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them."

He's doing better today. He had a little bit of a rough time yesterday though, they were outside having a water balloon fight. I'm TRYING to take a nap and hear him crying outside my window, well needless to say, I came wide awake and realize that by his demeanor, screaming and yelling at this brother and friend, he has been injured in some way. Well, come to find out, after they got him all calmed down by letting him do something "bad" to them, they finally decide to tell Mom what happened................
Colton threw a water balloon and hit John Robert right in his sore ears. (which one, I don't know) He said it felt like Colton threw it right at his ear on purpose with the intention of hurting him and making him cry.
Isn't that something that an older brother would do to a younger brother. It was something I would have done to my sister. (I wonder where he got it )
