This Christmas Eve, we went to a beautiful service at Kendel's parents' church in Lexington. As you might expect, Kendel had dressed Ezra and Lizzie to the nines. Ezra's outfit included a dapper hat. As we were walking into the sanctuary, the following conversation took place between grandpa and Ezra.
grandpa: Ezra, you need to take your hat off while we're in church.
Ezra: Why?
grandpa: Because we're in God's house.
Ezra: [clearly excited] God lives here!! Where is he!
grandpa: Well, no, God lives in heaven.
Ezra: Oh. So this used to be God's house, but he moved out?
grandpa: No. God is still here, but he lives inside of all of us.
Ezra: God lives inside everyone?
grandpa: Well, maybe not everyone.
I considered inserting myself into the conversation and helping grandpa out, but I decided to let him squirm a bit. It's not easy answering theological questions from a 4-year-old!!
