The Hubbell Pew

Maybe what is good about religion is playing that the Kingdom will come, until in the joy of your playing, the hope and the rhythm and comradeship and poignance and mystery of it – you start to see that the playing is itself the first-fruits of the Kingdom’s coming and of God’s presence within us and among us.—Frederick Buechner

Wednesday of Holy Week

Jake: "Jesus is everywhere, he is even inside of us, in our hearts."
Will: "He's like the Force."

Will: "The Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny both work for Santa Claus."
Jake: "Santa works for Jesus."

Will: "Jesus is always with me, but he doesn't talk to me."
Jake: "Yes he does, he just whispers to you cause he's a holy spirit."
Will: "Right, Spirits only whisper cause they don't want to make a lot of noise and get you in a time out."

Jake: "God made everything. He made all of the animals and people and trees and dinosaurs."
Will: "Did God make the meteor that killed the dinosaurs?"
Jake: "No that came from space, God liked the dinosaurs."

Jake : "Jesus didn't have to clean up his room all the time!"
Will: "Yeah he lived in a manger and there was hay everywhere!"

Since this is my last post of Lent, I felt I would share with you some of the funny, and thought-provoking , conversations that have gone on in my house in the last few weeks. With all that goes on in life, I find I get the most joy just listening to my kids talk.

I have felt genuinely privledged that you have allowed me into your lives this Lent and I sincerely hope that you have a wonderful Easter week.

Walter
