Asher and Micah started this conversation at lunch today… I just sat and listened and thought about all the times Asher asked me question after question. It was so cute.

Asher: God is in Heaven, and Jesus is going to come back from Heaven.
Micah: Jesus is going to hit my head.
Asher: No, Jesus is up in Heaven.
Micah: Jesus is upstairs?
Asher: No, He’s not upstairs. He’s in Heaven.
Micah: He’s down here?
Asher: No, He’s not.
Micah: He’s way up in the sky flying?
Asher: No. He is up in Heaven. Way, way up high.
Micah: He’s flying in Heaven.
Asher: No, Micah! There is no flying in Heaven.
Micah: Is the wind blowing and the trees are flying? Huh, Ash?
Asher: I’m tired of talking to you.

More from Asher today:
He asked me about Jesus being perfect again, so we talked about what it means to be perfect. Then this is what he says:

Asher: Mom, can you imagine if I never disobeyed? Whoa!
Me: No, I can’t imagine that.
Asher: But Mom, what if you asked me to do something and I couldn’t?
Me: What do you mean?
Asher: Well, what if you told me to cook supper? I can’t cook supper.
Me: Well, then it wouldn’t really be disobeying because it’s something you can’t do.
Asher: Hmmmm… but if supper were grapes, I could fix that! Do you want to have grapes for supper tonight, Mom?  Read more... (119 words, estimated 29 secs reading time)

Big ol’ brown eyes gazing at me and saying, “Can you imagine if everyone in the world was a horse? Whoa!”

Out of the blue at lunch today Asher asked me how we were going to die. I was a little taken aback, so I asked him, “How is who going to die?” Here’s the rest of the story…

Asher: Jesus… how did Jesus die?
Me: Can you tell me?
Asher: He died on the cross. But why did He die on the cross?

(We talked about how we all disobey God.)

Asher: Even Daddy? How does Daddy disobey God?  Read more... (219 words, estimated 53 secs reading time)
