We have taken this month to be a religion month. Reading the Bible has been fun in the land of milk and honey. If you read the picture below you will understand. Justin thought that was really funny. I have to agree it was and explaining it was more then I could describe without laughing.
It's hard to explain the bible to my children when I don't exactly believe with everything that has been written. One day at a time. I am finding out that my children have more questions about God which leads me to the King James Bible. That in turn leads to a bigger discussion with my wonderful husband. He doesn't believe in the written word either but if you listen to him speak it sure sounds like he is preaching the word of God. Amen! I have to admit if he was a preacher I'm going to hell for having impure thoughts about him. I say that out loud and we both laugh. Then I feel guilty and ask for forgiveness. Religion is a complicated thing. Especially when you're getting ready for church and have to choose a perfume the names of them just make you feel bad. Do I wear Sexy, Fancy or Endless Weekend. Do you see my dilemma? Then telling the boys not to hit each other bug or lick each other makes me think if God makes them bug me for his own amusement. Just getting there seems to be a huge task. Someone always spills something somewhere gets their clothes dirty or has to pee right as we are pulling out of the driveway. Going to church is so complicated sometimes! Some people take it to extreme. It's not God or whoever you pray to it's his followers. If you believe in something that's all that counts. Don't let anyone else tell you different. This is just apart of my family's journey into the land of understanding something new.
