Why the heck was it a foreskin!?! Even my Jewish friends can't figure that one out. But seriously- ther are so many difficult stories: Noah's Ark wasn't just rainbows. And how do you really explain the sacrifice of Isaac to a kid? I'm having to unteach the pre-school versions to my MS'ers so they can really see the "messiness" and reality of those stories...Alicia Eastvoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04450726957841214809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2831272898472475917.post-38178532735834288922010-10-07T19:44:27.459-07:002010-10-07T19:44:27.459-07:00Oh!

Ethan is always asking us questions when we are reading him stories and I am constantly trying to decipher how much information to give him. He knows the gory details of the cross because we believe they are essential in understanding salvation. I have a friend who would not tell her 4yo that Christ died on the cross for her because she thought it was too scary for her 4yo. On the other hand, explaining to Ethan the meaning of The Song of Solomon has been skipped over for the time being! Thanks for this post. As always, I really enjoyed reading it. :)Destiny Packernoreply@blogger.com
