I came across this old post from 2008, and I enjoyed remembering it so much that I had to repost it. (Please note that my children are older, but the conversations haven’t necessarily changed that much.)
The following is from 2008:
So I walk into the living room and overhear the end of an apparently deep theological discussion among my daughters.
Hailey (9): “. . . God can do anything.”
Abby (5, thinks for a few seconds): “God can swim?”
Hailey: “Anything, Abby.”
Abby: “Even make cards?”
Hailey: “God can do anything.”
You never can tell what kind of God-conversation will happen when you have kids. Jacob, three, he asked me:
Jacob: “Daddy, does God have a penis?”
Me: “Well . . . um . . . Jesus had a penis.”
Jacob: “Jesus was a boy?”
Me: “Yes.”
Jacob: “Let’s play spiderman.”
