Another story, from this morning. The three youngest are playing around the pool, filling and dumping water bottles. Naturally, that led to a discussion of treating others as you want to be treated—which breaks down if you actually want water poured unexpectedly on yourself, but works in general.

Joy made a suggestion: "So if someone pours water on you, you can pour water on him," to which Jeremiah immediately and enthusiastically responded, "Don't do evil for evil!"

I love it, Daniel!

We're not sure where the "Heroes killed God" part came from, except that Jeremiah knows that sometimes those with superpowers are bad guys.

Today Joseph said "Heroes save the world," and Daniel said "Just like Jesus!" Some three-year-old theology for you . . .

What's more, Jesus destroyed death and sin THROUGH the Cross, so I thought the transformation of cross to gun was pretty clever.

Maybe "Rat-a-tat-tat?" Or perhaps "Takka-Takka?"

Don't worry; he knows that well enough, Diane. Forgiveness is a big thing in his family. But Jesus destroyed death and sin! I think he's not so far off to put it in Superhero terminology.

Oh, dear...

Somebody please tell Jeremiah about Jesus' words for those who had just nailed him to The Cross: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do!"
