Inexplicable Ways

Humbly building the universe

  • Song of the Builders

    On a summer morning
    I sat down
    on a hillside
    to think about God--
    a worthy pastime
    Near me, I saw
    a single cricket;
    it was moving the grains of the hillside
    this way and that way
    How great was its energy
    how humble its effort
    Let us hope
    it will always be like this
    each of us going on
    in our inexplicable ways
    building the universe.

Preschooler Theology

Posted by Inexplicable Ways on December 7, 2009

The Virgin Birth

Norah:  Mary had baby Jesus in a birth tub with a sheep and a goat.

I’m wondering if she pictures the animals in the birth tub or acting as doulas nearby.

God’s Glory

Norah:  Did it hurt when God hit Moses with a rock? 

After much confusion, I realized she misheard that God hid Moses in the cleft of a rock

Creation

Norah:  Did God create the world?

Me:  Yep.

Norah:  Then I’m the God for my dollhouse.

The Bible

Upon telling her “the Bible says so,”

Norah:  Well my Bible doesn’t say that.

And those were just today’s conversations!

    Those are great! So good you’re writing them down. My 4yr old told me Jesus was like a ladder to heaven. ;)
