I'm Not Smarter than a 4 Year Old

So, I am so not ready to be the mom of a preschooler and especially not the mom of one who asks hard theological questions. Jamison and Andy at work often get calls from me asking for the Theological Council at WPM to go into session. I know I am not the only mom who faces this. In fact, a good friend of mine posted about it not so long ago, "Sandbox Seminary." Side note, if you do not follow her blog, you need to go over there and do so now. Here's the link. (Support her adoption cause while you are at it. See the link on my sidebar, "Journey to Bethlehem.") Missy is witty, insightful, makes you feel good about yourself and kicks your rear all in the same post. Mostly, she is genuine; her faith and her love for our Lord are passionate and real. She makes me laugh daily.

For the record, this is not an attempt to recreate that which she is already written about. Mainly, I am writing this so some day I can look back and remember the questions my children asked me. Plus, it's entertaining. Plus, I would love your thoughts on how to answer them. I am qualifying my post like this b/c just today someone copied her whole entire post on her blog and refused to give her credit for it. Makes me mad for her. So, not trying to be Missy, just recording my day.

Day 1 - sometime last week.

G: "Mommy, when are you going to have another baby."

M: "There are not going to be any other babies."

G: "Why not?"

M: "God has blessed us abundantly with three."

G: "Can Hope be a mommy?"
M: "Yes, someday when she is married."

G: "Mommy, what if Hope has a baby BEFORE she is married? What happens then?"

M: Stammered about God's order and that we get married first.

Day 2 - Today

G: "God died on the cross for our sins."

M: "Grayson, Jesus died on the cross."

G: "But, Mommy, Jesus is God. So, God died on the cross."

M: Hmmmm...he's got a point. I did remind him that there is ONE God and THREE persons. Man, this trinity thing gets me with him every time.
