![]() ![]() My college roommate took him on a Road Trip from Tennessee to Georgia to Florida to Alabama to Arkansas! Our friends that moved away showed us around cold and snowy Michigan and Minnesota. ![]() My Christian friend from high school even took him to Disneyland. The kids when they receive the photos look at them and ask questions. So many people have enjoyed the project so much that they have thanked ME for allowing them to come for a visit. It has united me with old friends and brought a new bond between us again. It was pretty fun seeing my old pastor and college professor holding Flat Pat. My grandmother even took her Flat Pat to several states and to her Senior Center and church with her. We have looked forward to seeing the photos that people send in the mail, e-mail, and post on Facebook. ![]() Together they have reached 17 different states and done some pretty amazing things! We also sent out a little Flat Pat for our daughter who is 3, we are calling her Flat Stanley’s little sister. They were supposed to take pictures of Flat Stanley at a local attraction or go with them and do something that they do every day. I have sent Flat Stanley to over 20 people for our original project for our Homeschool Literature Fair. I know this really has little to do with ministry but it has been such a fun project that it has boosted our family camaraderie in so many ways. They have more books in the series but this one has been my personal favorite. They have updated the book covers through the years but the story is still relevant to children today. Who knew that reading a little book from the library would turn into such a family craze! Flat Stanley is a cute little book written by Jeff Brown back in 1964, 2 years after my mom was born. ![]()
