As we were getting out of the van in the church parking lot yesterday...
JW: Mom, I sang those last two God songs. [referring to the Tomlin CD we listened to on the way to church].
ME: I know. I heard you! I thought it sounded beautiful!
JW: Do you know why I sang those songs?
ME: Why?
JW: Because I wanna be a Christian when I grow up...just like Uncle James!
[a few seconds of silence as we continue our trek into the building]
JW: How many people at this church are Christians?
ME: Only God knows that.
JW: Are YOU A Christian?
ME: [chuckle]
JW: Because you sometimes sing God songs!
[Program Note: Hopefully, God doesn't use the same standard to decide our status as Christians as JW because I have been known to sing a song or seven million with questionable lyrics!! In my defense, they have GREAT rhythms, fun music, and you can really dance to them!]
"he wants to be a Christian like Uncle James"!!!! that is sooo sweet!
