Freeman's Archives-Take Four

Freeman, age 4 1/2-Freeman went up front to the altar at Hopewell to "pray for the church."

Phil to Philip, 5 months old-"You're a happy little guy." Freeman-"He's happy because the Lord loves him. That's why he raises his hands."

"I'm a doctornarian."

We had a candlelight supper with Phil Driscoll's music playing in the background. "Amazing Grace" came on. Freeman closed his eyes, lifted his hands and said,"What a beautiful song. Bless You , Jesus. Bless You, Jesus. " Turning to us he said," Don't you want to raise your hands? Raise one hand. " ( We did.)" Bless you, Jesus," he worshipped. The song ended.
Freeman said," Put your hands down now."

"Mommy-you gotta change him!" Me-"Why?" " Because he looks like a little lamb with horns comin' out of his head-not like Philip!" ( He was wearing a white nightie sack that Mother had knitted for him.)

"That was horberating! That means gross!" (He did not like the juice I gave him.)

I was reading a story about Isaac and Rebecca to Freeman. The story said that Rebecca was kind. I told Freeman that it is important to choose a wife who is kind. He smiles and says, "Allison's that kind of a girl." (Allison is his cousin.)

"If Daddy gets scared, I'll snuggle up to him."

Freeman wrappedup a favorite Teddy Bear for Grandpa Hertzlers 59th birthday. "Grandpa, make sure you remember to take him to bed with you every night."

"I was in Daddy's room reading the telephone book."
