What a nice article! Thank you for posting this Isabelle!

As a side note, Coley asked me the other day...in the middle of one of our Munchkin chats...what God's last name is. I explained that we have last names so that people know what family we belong to, but that God doesn't need a last name because he belongs to all families.

This was one of the VERY few times that I was able to answer a question with 1 answer...he thought on it for a moment and then asked if God had a middle name. I told him "no." He seemed puzzled, but moved on without more questions.

Getting better about 'unknowns'?

For a second I was pretty proud of myself for being able to give him what he was looking for, but then I realized that he's getting better about accepting some abstracts...or maybe it just wasn't as important as the main topic so he didn't let it 'distract' him...either way, a good step forward, for Coley, not me. :)

yes, be proud of yourself, your answers were short and sweet.... my dd when young asked so many questions about religion....i think i traumatized her with my answers because now she's a non-believer..... :rolleyes:
