jonathan's questions

Thought I'd invite you into a few moments of my home school day this morning with my dear 11.5 year old Jonathan. These questions arose from our devotional time studying Mark 2:

"What's the difference between magic and miracles?"

"What if God the Father paid for our sins instead of Jesus?"

"What if the stories in the Bible weren't true?"

"How do you know if spiritual power is from God or Satan?"

"How did people have their sins forgiven before the cross?"

"Jesus died for everyone's sins. So is everyone already forgiven?"

and on a lighter note later in the morning during reading comprehension...

"Why did God give us fingernails? Wouldn't we have less germs on our fingers if we didn't have fingernails??"

"Why is miniaturization such a BIG word?!"

Awesome! I have some of those same questions myself.

And what really freaks me out is that Jona is 11.5 years old. Little buddy isn't so little any more...

Don't you love those questions? I can't get enough of the fantastic questions that come out of our children's mouths :)
