Dungeons & Dragons (and Nathan, the cleric)

Nathan went to a birthday party yesterday in which the highlight of the party was a several hour long game of D&D.  It was the first he'd ever played it and he loved it!  Despite the fact that he's not so great of an actor, he still loved the roll play aspect.  And of course, stealing daggers, killing the bad guys, and being the only one with healing powers which made him well loved (or at least needed) by all, certainly helped.  

I asked Nathan to pray before our dinner last night and he thanked God for the food (and that's where the kid prayers usually end), then he rolled into a several sentence round of gratitude for the game Dungeons & Dragons and his chance to play it at the party.  lol!

What a delight to not only see him enjoy himself so thoroughly, but also to savor the definite zing of irony that he thanked God for the game.
