Our boys LOVE church, and all things associated. The other night at Pathfinders, I was hanging out with Alex in the Sanctuary and he began asking about the cross. I explained that Jesus died on the cross and that it was amazing that he did that for us so that we don’t have to die, but can go to heaven with him. It was kind of a precious moment.
The next day we went to swimming lessons with Cole. Alex got bored, so we started wandering and came across another pool that had starting blocks lined up at one end. He asked what they were and I explained. “Those are starting blocks. People dive off of them in to the pool.” Then he got to see someone dive in. He asked again and I explained again “people dive in the pool from the starting blocks.”
“Jesus!” he yelled.
“What?”
“Jesus swim!!”
“No Alex. It’s DIVE, not DIE. That’s not what Jesus did for us.”
But he continues to insist…”Jesus Swim!”
Hoping for better luck next time 🙂
