I think we've seen 'Star Wars' too many times!

Man, Lately we have seen alot of star wars movies, Joseph is hooked on them and therefore so are we. But you have to hear what Jessica said last night! Lately she has had this fear of our house burning down durning the night and cries right before bed. Last night she was going thru her normal episodes of crying and then put her head on my shoulder and said "I just wish we had an invisible force field around our house." Man it was all I could do to not laugh out loud. I opted to talk about our 'spiritual force field' around our house, but she interrupted me and said that wasn't what she was talking about.
Well and to make matters worse, you know how when you're really really really tired when you say your personal prayers? And all of the sudden you say something totally stupid and you don't even know how you came up with that? (except Becky, I don't think she says hers) Last night, we got a phone call from Rick's mom about his dad, and how he's not doing good at all health wise and that he had to go to Boise to have some tests read, it really seems serious, but we don't know what it is yet. Anyway, I'm imbarrassed to say this, but it's really funny. I was saying my personal prayers, very very tired mind you, and I must have started to drift off to sleep but all of the sudden I said, 'and I'm so thankful for Rick's dad, YODA!' All of the sudden I caught myself and what I was saying and I just bust up laughing. It was so stupid. Anyway, I know you all have done it so don't even write back and say you haven't. So much for Star Wars! I think we better turn it off!!!!!

YODA Baxter - Hummmmmm------Yah, ya'll know that my worst prayer line when tired was, "Help us to know what to do about our bath towels". I caught myself, and said, "Did I really say that?" It made both of us laugh all night long and giggle all during the next day or so. I still have never forgotten it. You are truly my daughter now. Thank goodness.

ReNae, maybe you think that Rick's dad looks like Pres. Kimball, cuz ya know, everyone says he's really Yoda...or is it that Yoda is really Pres. Kimball. Well, which ever it is May the Force be with you ...and a little more with you when you are trying to pray while almost asleep!
