On the way home from church Sunday...
Mr. Heinecke: Hey guys, what did you learn today?
Kid Two: Well, you know how air is everywhere around us?
Mr. Heinecke: Yeah. It's all around us.
Kid Two: God is like that. He's like the air...all around us.
Mr. Heinecke: Cool. And what does that mean to you?
Kid Two: To stay out of the water...
Mr. Heinecke: [simply looks at me as if to say, "Did we mess this kid up along the way somehow?"] ... [and I gave him a raised eye brow as if to reply, "Oh I'm sure of it."]
We laughed to ourselves because quite frankly, this kid is funny. But he has a point too. There isn't any air under the water. We can't breathe down there on our own.
Life is the same way. Don't venture too far into the "water" where you can no longer breathe in God's presence.
Crazy LifeKids teachers. He may never swim again for fear of being separated from God...

Remind them about the living water, maybe that will help get them back in the pool.
That is too funny
Has he been baptized yet? This might cause a small problem. :)
I just love hearing the funny things kids say. They just see it differently and I love that. Man, I gotta get me one of those little darlin's!
haha---love your silent conversation with Chad. Aren't kids the greatest? What did we do for entertainment BC?
Sorry...the triple post gremlin got me...
Yeah, those crazy LifeKids teachers...
Hi Kim-- I was just looking at one of my favorite blogs today, "Stuff Christians Like", when I saw a comment from someone I kind of know. I am Vicki Baker's daughter and I have lurked on your blog a few times already. I just wanted to say that I love it and I think it is so cool that someone else I "know" is addicted to Jon Acuff. Cute story about your son. I love the way kids think.
Aren't kids just so blaise' about things? Awesome analogy. I think I have to use that one to get my 7 year old out of the bath!!!
LOL
