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.
