Alex needed to get one last immunization before Kindergarten and since we are shopping for a new pediatrician, I made an appointment with a new doctor. Today was the day. Alex was nervous all afternoon. He wouldn' t talk much at our lunch date with Steener: usually Steener gets him a-jabbering. About a half hour before leaving, he called to me from the next room. He asks, "Mom, if the lady in the garden listened to God, would I have to go to the doctor?" Any suggestions P-Dawg? I said that we didn't believe doctors were in God's original plan. He said, "So, if she listened, there wouldn't be any germs or sickness?" I said, "Probably not." He said, "Don't you wish she would have listened to God?" Theology from a 5 year old. Questions I ask all the time, too.

Alex asks some pretty deep questions. Smart boy. On the other hand, I had to read 3 times before I figured out who the lady in the garden was.
The haunted castle is ready and waiting for you! We had a blast. OleKobe: Believe me, when he asked the question I was thinking "Who the hell is the lady?" I don't know how it came to me. The funny thing is we only have talked about Adam and Eve a few times. He's actually afraid of the story in the children's bible and we never got past the first time the snake is mentioned. But, there's a large, beautiful painting in the book that captures the moment. That made enough of an impression I guess.
The Lady in the Graden...that is precious.
I love that kid.
He's the bestest kid in the world!
Lady in the Garden?
