Power in the Blood

Tanner, our middle child, asked his mommy the other day, "Does bugs have God and Jesus in dur hearts?"

Shannon smiled and replied softly, "No, sweetheart."

"Yes day do! When I squish 'em, blood comes out!!!"

Needless to say, our 3-year-old doesn't have a grasp on the finer points of theology quite yet. But he's learning. And he's got the cutest prayers you've ever seen: You can't understand anything he says -- he kind of babbles in a whisper -- but he squints his eyes shut, clasps his hands, bites his lip, and emphatically shakes his head as if he were praying to shut the mouths of lions. Every time! It's really something.
