I know all five year olds say amazing things.  JJ is a lot like John and I already – he’s in his head too much.  You can see when his gears are trying to crank something out. Today he offered me two insights, one spiritual the other just something I needed to know.

He was telling me how great it is that “Jesus can live inside our heart and be with us all the time.”  I agreed.  And then came the long thoughtful pause, and he asked, “So is there like an ittty, bitty, tiny land inside my heart?”  And then, with his fingers, he showed me how itty bitty tiny the land would be.

We were trying to get out the door and I asked the boys to put the couch cushions back on the couch before we left.  As they were doing it, I noticed how dirty the darker cushion got from being on the floor.  So I reasoned with them and said,  “This is why we don’t put the cushions on the floor, because they can get dirty.”   JJ then explained to me, “but the reason you had little boys was to play with couch cushions on the floor”.  Yeah, I still don’t get it exactly, but it probably was one of the reasons why I had little boys.
