More tough lessons

Vern has been having another tough weekend. He was extremely naughty in church today. First I have him what little change I had in my purse so he could get some fruit from the breakfast they were having for Stephen Ministries. What does he do? He goes into the breakfast and gets a PLATE of food.  After a few minutes we go pull him out of there and are upset with him for disobeying and getting so much food. (He just had multiple pancakes at home less than an hour earlier.)  We go into church and come to find out he didn't turn in the money for his fruit but decided he needed it more! Now we are really upset with him. He is very disrespectful in church and gets a talking to when we get home. He aplogized to God.  Then after piano he had to read the Bible for an hour! I made him read Proverbs and associated some of those to what had happened to him during the day.  He knew he had to shape up in the afternoon or he was not going to get to go to his Boy Scout Banquet.  He did shape up so we went to hig Banquet and had a good time. Here are a couple pictures. He passed his Bear and got a badge and a pin tonight. We also had a nice dinner.
