"Yeah! And he made Jupiter first."
Could be. Seems like there are quite a few misconceptions about Jesus out there. Just today, I had this conversation with small theologians:
Xanthe: Henry found a bird that is dead.
Me: OK. Let's see. How about if we bury it?
Henry (clutching the dead bird): We can't do that! He couldn't breathe.
Me: Yeah, but he's dead. So...
Henry: But he's coming back to life when Jesus gets here!
Me: What are we going to do with him until Jesus gets here?
Henry: How about put him in a nest so another bird can watch him?
There's got to be some kind of object lesson in there somewhere. Maybe these kids know exactly what they're talking about. I wouldn't discount their ideas, that's for sure. Kids, in their innocence, are the closest thing to heaven there is.

I love a child's perspective. If only everything in life could be simple and so uncomplicated!
Thanks Circ, needed that today!
That is wonderful!
Out of the mouths of babes:) Maybe we could all learn more that way!
there's something so tender about what Henry said. :)
