I am fascinated with Evan's comments on God. He has so many questions. He knows a lot of Bible stories since he goes to a Christian day care...and I can supplement with my own religious training. I really want him to know about many religions, but I have to admit I don't know as much as I could about the others. Evan came downstairs while I was watching Grey's Anatomy today. During this episode, the doctors were taking care of kids from Africa with medical issues. One particular child had a deformity where his heart formed right next to his skin and you could see it through his skin. Evan was concerned about the little boy and asked me why he had that problem. I told him, "Remember we talked about how everyone is born differently? How God made us all a little different? Well, that little boy was born like that." Evan said, "Oh. Why are they fixing it?" I said, "Well, it is dangerous to have your heart close to your skin." Evan said, "Did God know that it was dangerous when he made the little boy like that?" .............. "I don't know, Evan." My little philosopher.
