That is a quote from Mathew 5:44 and no one has applied this more aptly in their lives than our Noah. Every time Noah prays he says something like "thank you for the bad guys", "bless the bad guys" or our personal favorite, "help the bad guys to be good."
Yes our little Noah is obsessed with bad guys. As Kyle puts it, "he has bad buy in his blood." In fact whenever Noah is having a bad day in nursery at church all the teachers know that the way to calm him down is to talk about bad guys. Usually he comes out of class with some kind of depiction of Joker (his favorite bad guy) and a super hero.
Noah's favorite game is to play bad guy with Kyle, who always wants to be the good guy. Noah runs around chasing Kyle, trying to talk as low as he can in a monotone voice saying "Hey, I'm a bad guy."
Luckily the "bad guy" addiction is only skin deep. Noah does not have a bad bone in him. He is sweet and we love him dearly. He has taught us that we need to pray for our enemies... cause someone has to love the bad guy... and that someone is Noah.

Noah update: The other night Noah and I were playing when he said to me, "don't do that you freaky bad guy." I took it as a compliment knowing how he feels about bad guys.
