Good night

Prayers, Faith and Magic.
I taught Darla to pray as soon as she could speak because faith is important to me and I want to give her that tool, skill, strength.

Darla goes to the Lutheran Church where she is learning get about God and Faith from a pastor. For the first time she has questions:

Q. Is God a girl or boy (Yes. Most people think of God as a guy, but he created life like a girl.)

Q. Does Jesus live in a star? (No. The star helped people find him…he was probably potty trained be for the wise men got to him)

Q. God and Jesus only love little kids, right? (Wrong. That’s who Mommy loves. God and Jesus aren’t as constantly annoyed with grown ups as Mommy is)

My silent night

It is 7:30 and she is already asleep. I am cuddled into the corner of my couch and watching the at episode of The Newsroom. Soft steady Christmas lights from a 4 foot tree are the only other illumination.

It’s nice.
