From the Mind of a 7 Year Old

And it went something like this..
Taj: Daddy if God gets sick he can heal himself?
Me: No Taj , God never gets Ill..
Taj: ( quizzical look)
Daddy you mean if a person shoots a gun at God ,he would not get hit?
Me: He would not get hit, no one can harm God..
Taj: he would turn away the bullet?
Me: Taj no one can hurt God, God doesn't get ill , that's why he is God..
Taj: WOW!! ( mouth wide open)
I think I have to go into theology to answer these questions..

Children are amazing! It is the delight of your life, and I am so glad you have this experience! The questions always get deeper, so brace yourself, Paul.
