We haven't cracked it open yet if you did. I do think I'd be more prepared to answer this if I had ever memorized the small catechism. One more thing to do this year.

It's sure a lot easier to talk about what Jesus did while on earth than what he's up to now, eh? It's great that she's asking all these questions. And every answer is going to be bizarre to her, of course. And that will provoke a new question. But just think how much you'll get to talk about Jesus with her. You're not going to make a skeptic out of her just because the answers are bizarre. Did we ever give you "The Big Book of Questions and Answers About Jesus" written by our minister? Something like that might help stimulate especially good questions from her...just guessing. So happy to hear about Olivia's growing faith. Andy You’re doing a fine job, Devona.

One of the Children's Catechism's early questions is "Can you see God?" And the answer is "I cannot see God, but he always sees me." Lexi learned that this week. That's right after "Where is God?" "God is everywhere!" Somehow, I think saying these answers cements the concepts in my girlies' heads enough that they seem sensible. Last month Kate was concerned that God was so big and isn't he squished in my little heart? etc. That made me laugh.
