On the way to Wal Mart tonight from the back seat came some questions. These are not abnormal questions... just a sampling of the ones we hear every day... Think if you can about how you would answer them. Sometimes, the simpler the better?
Kevin: Dad, how do people make dirt?
Dad: God makes dirt.
Kevin: Dad, how do people make wood?
Dad: God makes wood.
Kevin: Dad, how do people make houses?
Dad: Well, son, they take wood and they cut it ....
What about snow?
God makes snow.
Silence for a moment...
Kevin: It's kind of cloudy tonight.
Yep, it's cloudy.
Even though I can't see them I know the stars are there and even though I can't see it I know the moon is there. Just like God is always there.
And so began the explanation of faith... That's faith, buddy. Faith is knowing that something is there even though you can't see it. We know that God is there, even though we never see him...
What about snow?
What do you mean?
What is snow?
Snow is frozen water.
What about hell?
WHAT?
Hail, you know, hail.
Breathing a sigh of releif... Hail is water that is frozen harder than snow.
Does it hurt?
I don't know...
Really really big pieces hurt.
Then getting out of the car and going into the store...
Dad, did you know that God followed us all the way up here and he'll follow us all the way home?
