Caleb and I read the story of David and Goliath before bed tonight. Here’s Caleb’s summary:
‘ So, God says we should throw stones at bad people so they will die. But only if they are really bad’.
I tried to steer the conversation toward God helping us when we are scared and feel little but Caleb was more interested in the understanding the key differences between Jesus and God.
“Mummy, do Jesus and God have the same hair?’
” Well Caleb, if they did what kind of hair would they have?’
” I think it’s curly and blue and purple and white. I think’.
Who am I to argue?

Laughed out loud at Caleb’s application of David and Goliath story – now I can’t wait til Rick gets home to share it with him.
