Paul’s Letters

Cole loves reading his Bible, and is beginning to learn the names of the books.  Recently, a conversation about Paul’s letters to various churches…

Cole:  Dad, did you know that Paul was really old when he learned his letters?

Dad: No, do you mean sent his letters?

Cole: No, learned his letters.

Dad: You mean the alphabet?

Cole: Yeah – he learned his letters when he was really old.

Dad: Well he sent his letters when was pretty old.  You know, he wrote letters to his friends.  Make sense?

Cole: Nope.

Dad: He sent an e-mail….

Cole: Ahhh

He’s right

Alex is a bit obsessed with all things about Jesus and the Cross.  The only Bible story he wants to read is the crucifixion story and  when we pick up Cole from preschool, we must make our way in to the sanctuary where he stares at the cross.  Every day while we sit there quietly he whispers “Why Jesus die?”  I’ve tried answering this a hundred different ways, but every day the same question.

Today in the car on the way home from school, he asked again.  “Why Jesus die?”  Cole, trying to irritate Alex as only a big brother can, answered “Because Jesus loves big Easter trucks!”  Alex replies, “No Cole, Jesus loves ME!”
