Our 9 year old let me know that she’s talking to her gym teacher about “going back to church” she said “I told him he should go to dad’s church!” @theodramatist.com and I are raising evangelists and I don’t even care if that’s a brag.

My five year old asked me at bedtime “mom. Does God love the Devil?”
(The answer here is ‘yes.’)
But the point of this post is to say: keep asking questions like a five year old: and never ever stop.

Our five year old has discovered “The Greatest Showman”
I caught her today making up her own song that had these lyrics “It doesn’t matter what you look like, it doesn’t matter what you sound like: God loves you: and you should be you: because you are so cool.”

Well I've learned that my 8yo is stoking theological controversy at school. In her words: "Dad the kids are saying when you die you go to heaven forever, but I've been telling them 'no, you go for a little while until the resurrection of the body.'"

Took my youngest in for her well child checkup. I explained to the doctor that our double clergy house is experiencing “post-Easter colds.”
He said “at least it’s not post-Easter Measles.”
I said: PREEEEAAAACH.
Then he told us not to travel to Texas.

I asked my almost 5 year old what she wants for her birthday.
First request: “a real unicorn or a real mermaid.”
I explained that’s not possible.
Second request: “a live puppy.”
I explained that’s not an option.
Third request “ok. I’ll have a giant lollipop with a card on it.”
