Questions...

So last night we went to a basketball game and on the way home Casey had a few questions. Not about basketball but about something he saw. In Boise there is a huge cross on the side hill and at night they light it up. Last night Casey saw this and wanted to know what it was. We told him it was a cross and of course he wanted to know what a cross was. I told him it was where the Lord Jesus gave his life for his people. Casey said nothing for a few seconds and then wanted to know where heaven was and why he could not see it. This made me stop and think...how do you explain heaven to a four year old...much less to a 28 year old. He also wanted to know if Jesus would be coming back soon and why we dont get to see him. All of these questions were asked at 9:30 at night so my brain was not on full anyway. So you may be wondering what I ended up telling the little guy. As far as heaven, its up above the clouds (kind of). Jesus is coming back one day to take all those that believe on him to live with him and until that day we are asked to live for him. I then took the chicken way out and told him to ask Papa with combine the next time we are in Aberdeen.

This is the same little guy that wanted to know a few days ago where he came from...the hospital was not a good answer. I then told him from mommy and daddy to which he asked where did you guys come from. A few of his other questions...why dont the people in the back seat of a car have a sun visor? Where does ... come from? (fill in the blank with just about anything) Why is my pee yellow? Yes the joys of having a four year old with a very, very active mind. :):)
