Andrew is a part of a program at our church called Royal Rangers. It's like the Boy Scout program; he earns badges and merits, they go on camp outs, and he learns Bible stories and memorizes scripture from the Bible. Andrew really enjoys his class. He is in the Ranger Kids class (Kindergarten-2nd grade). I find him at home reading through his Ranger Kids handbook, reading through his Kid's Bible (which he read front to back over the summer!), and he's always making sure that I've sewn his latest badges on his vest.

Apparently his dedication and enthusiasm for the program caught the attention of the other Commanders (teachers) and they voted Andrew for Ranger Kid of the Year. Jeremy and I were extremely surprised (especially since the Senior Commander asked Jeremy who he thought should receive the award and Jeremy told him another kid from the class). Jeremy was worried that it looked really bad that Andrew won the award since Jeremy is the Commander of that class. Eh, what can ya do?

The Pastor recognized each Ranger of the Year during church service and asked each of them what the funnest thing about Rangers is.
Andrew's response?......
"Nothing."
