Swimming In The Nude
>> Monday, September 15, 2008
I have decided that politics, like a stinky shoe, will start to make my blog smell if I do not discuss other items. So I would like to discuss the genius that is my boy, McWilliam. McWilliam definitely comes from the deep end of the Rockstar gene pool. He is everything I hope he can be and more. He is the ying to my yang, the poop to my joke, the wind beneath my wings.
I am particularly proud that recently my son decided to get a little more serious about his faith. He decided to fast. Now I could tell you that he decided to do this in order to allow the Holy Spirit to reveal his true spiritual condition, or that he was excited about transforming his prayer life into a more personal experience or that he wanted to gain a deeper understanding and experience a closeness with God like he has never experienced.
The fact of the matter is this. McWilliam declared that he would be fasting because his older sister Rosie was. Now Rosie was fasting for all of the right reasons and actually happened to be fasting something close to my heart (so close it is clogging it), CANDY. Rose was so diligent that 15 days in and she had not broken her fast in the slightest.
Sitting around the dining room table McWilliam became emboldened. Wanting to make a splash, and understanding that giving up candy would be to painful, he decided to boldly go where no faster has gone before him. He decided once and for all that there was something he was willing to give up to further humanity and I quote "The next time we go to the pool or go swimming somewhere, I am going to fast my bathing suit".
I tried to explain to him that showing up at the community pool buck naked was probably not the best of ideas but that I admired his gusto. I tried to explain that a more sensible choice might be to go "smokeless" as we like to call it at church for a month or maybe moon the neighbors every night at 7:30 ... you know something a little less dramatic than showing up at the community pool, announcing to all that you are a follower of Jesus Christ and then dropping your swim pants.
My Son. My Hero.

I am cracking up.
I can see why you have no comments under your posts.
Thank you anonymous. I am tracking your every move :-)
I can not help it that you dream of being me

Top that no name
Is wearing a thong considered "fasting your bathing suit?" Or as my kids who have seen it at the beach before have asked: Did that woman's bum eat her bathing suit?
You must be so proud! Clearly the apple has not fallen far from the tree.
You are hilarious... when I need a good laugh, now I know where to go.
That is fantastic.
Even more fantastic is anonymous' comment. True statement makers always post anonymous.
The poop to my joke... what words of wisdom.
Hilarious!
Definitely funny. He is priceless. I wonder you were able to keep a straight face.
just like his daddy in the brilliance department.
I've been slain by McWilliam.
