The Mini Theologian

I thought that Christmas would be an appropriate time to post some of Caleb's recent theological musings. We really have to stay on our toes to answer his questions. Here are a few of his recent questions...

1. When is Jesus coming out of the clouds?
2. Can God make me into a cow?
3. Can I be a guy church when I grow up?
4. Is Jesus coming to church tonight?
5. Can God turn me into Santa Claus?
6. Why was Jesus born in the manger?
7. If Jesus takes us to heaven, then our neighbors will miss us.

Breakfast with Santa



Well, today we had breakfast with Santa, round two. The first round (last year) resulted in a child who was terrified of Santa and refused to have his picture made with the guy. Also, Santa looked rather young, disinterested, and slightly drugged last year.

Anyway, Caleb assured me that he was "a big boy now" and that he wasn't afraid of Santa. Nonetheless, after we arrived at the hotel, had the requisite breakfast (a highlight for Caleb was partaking of three different types of jam), and neared the moment of truth, Caleb's fear took hold. However, we had something that tipped the scales in our favor this year... Santa was handing out candy canes. When Caleb realized that the only way to get a candy cane was to look fear in the face, he stoically posed for a picture. Fortunately, we ran into Matt's professor who snapped a quick shot for us. Of course, Madi is howling and Caleb looks like he's just seen a ghost. Oh, the things we do for fun!
