As I was putting him to bed tonight, I asked Will the usual question, "Who would you like to pray for tonight?" The normal response is one of his friends or grandparents, but tonight he said, "Sweepo!" I thought about the normal rules we use; no praying for toys, no talking trains or cars, and no animated vegetables. I was afraid Sweepo might fall in this last category. Rather than go over the rules again I decided to use some "enhanced interrogation techniques."
It turns out, yesterday Jennifer and Will had picked out a little Peruvian boy to sponsor through World Vision. They had looked at short descriptions of several boys deciding which to sponsor. Some listed chores as chops wood or "too young to help" another boy was described as helping his mom sweep the house. The three year old they chose is named Bruno. sweeper+Bruno=Sweepo.
Relieved he wasn't in the legume family, we prayed for Bruno.
