Today being Sunday, it was very good that we had the opportunity to go to church. Dennis asked me all kinds of questions on the way home from the lake early this morning, like "why do we go to church?", "who is God?", and "who is Jesus and where is He?", and "is Jesus a superhero?". I told him God made him and me and Daddy and trees and birds and animals and the sky and everything. He said "did God make bad guys?". Yeah, I'm way out of my league here. I think he gets promoted to actual Sunday School in May, and I'm hoping that will supplement the rudimentary theological education that I'm providing on the spur of the moment ("yes, God made bad guys and He loves them very much and hopes they will stop being bad"). Dennis was very happy to visit with our pastor this morning after the service (and after I nabbed him yelling and crying away from the nursery because they have a black fireman helmet with a visor there). He shook hands with Brother Larry and was very interested when I told him that Brother Larry taught people all about God and Jesus (and he looked very pastorly in his robe and vestments today).
We lunched with Grandma and GrandBob and then came home where he and Daddy napped while I escaped for some alone time, shopping and then visiting Uncle Denny. I had the greatest phone conversation to date with Dennis on my way home. He asked "Mommy, what are you doing" and I told him I was driving and he said "what are you doing talking on the phone and driving?". Good point. He told me all about his afternoon and told me to be careful and that he loved me. So fun.
