Why One Needs A Theology Degree To Parent, Or Hurry Home, Matt

"You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. "
Deut. 6:7

Kate and Titus helped me in the yard today.
Me: Kate, do you know why we have weeds? It's because of the fall. God cursed Adam's labor because he rebelled against God. So weeds are part of the curse that came on creation.
Kate: Oh. So did God want to make better people?
Me: Wha?
Kate: Did God want to make better people?
Me: But we aren't better people than Adam. We are all children of Adam and have sin in our hearts.
Kate: I don't! I prayed and asked God to change my heart!

At this point I would have sent her in to see her daddy, but he's on a business trip. As it stands right now, Katie thinks she's sinless.

Milton Freedom!

When Milton Friedman (an economist Matt admires) died in November, Katie heard Matt and I talking about his death. She asked who he was, and her daddy spoke of him in glowing terms.
Last week we were driving into Colorado Springs and I saw several hearses in a lot .
Me: Look at all those hearses.
Katie: What are hearses?
Matt: Hearses are vehicles that take you to the cemetery after you die so your body can be buried.
Katie: Is Milton Freedom in a hearse?

November, December, January, February, March! 5 months Kate stored that information away.
