As Cameron is getting older, his understanding is getting better. But his questions are getting harder and more complex. Last night our Bible devotion was about Elijah and Elisha. Elijah was taken up in a chariot of fire. He wanted to know why God didn't just take him or push him right up to heaven. Why did he need the chariot? I have no idea. I had never really thought of it either.
Tonight he was listening to a tape and it had the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
C: They didn't really die.
M: Well that's not true. Because they disobeyed God and ate the fruit off that tree their bodies started to die that day. They didn't die for many years but had they obeyed God, their bodies would not have died at all.
C: Well, if I had been there I would have cut down that tree and put it in the garbage.
LOL. What a smart boy, just completely get rid of the temptation. If only life were that simple.
