When my son was small I wanted him to go to church because I had been a faithful

churchgoer all along. The problem was that he was quite hyper and needed

individual Christian education.

My church proposed that a Psychiatrist who belonged in the congregation look at

my son to see if they could teach him. That never happened and I didn't want to

do that, anyway, so I had to leave the church.

Finally I found a Lutheran church and a wonderful young lady studying for a

special education degree who would teach my son individually. That worked

beautifully.

However, it was not until he calmed down as an adult that I would venture to

take him to church. Today, at age 34, he enjoys church and especially likes the

songs. He can follow along with the service in our prayer book because he can

read. Comprehension is a problem.

I just thought this might interest you all. I go to a small church and all of

them have grown to understand his odd ways and accept him quite well.
