you at 7

Jude.  My not-so-little youngest man of the house.  How do I describe you at this age? Volumes would not cover the complexities of the behavior of young boyhood.  Your constant state of activity, your bouncing ways, your dominant imagination, your habit of single-handedly creating the chaos of a stampede....that spark of personality:
You used to possess a quiet calm, and while overtaken by the throes of growing up at times, you still show glimpses of this calm:

 Your enjoyment and fascination of all sorts of critters continue.  And that's one thing about boyhood that I get.  The wondrous variety and beauty woven all throughout Creation reveals much about the masterful design of the Creator.  I hope you continue on this path of fruitful "study." It's what drew my attention to the Creator
 which grew to an understand of WHO that Creator is--the Savior--the One that we all need to cancel out our burden of sin.  Our prayer is that you understand these truths and live them out in a fruitful life.  It's the only thing that will matter at the end your days.
May you grow in your understanding of this truth.  We love you, Jude...in all your boyish ways.
