:) "Detail-oriented" would definitely be one of the major phrases used to describe me.
It is somewhat simplistic, but since it is for children I'm okay. I am far more troubled by the fact that kids grow up thinking of God as Santa Claus (with the prayer as wishlist) and that they have to be trained into new ways of thinking about prayer as adults. (Yes, this was one of my twitches at Beginnings. I mean, I understand that some concepts are difficult for children -- though that hasn't stop Tim from hammering "invite Jesus into your heart" even though I think kids have no idea what that means -- but prayer as conversation is totally something kids can understand.)
