If you could hie to Kolob

Christian gave the family night lesson on 'reverence at church.'  After clearly demonstrating that he is well versed in exactly how to behave (and is thus a knowing hellion at church) he decided to ask some questions that must have been on his mind a long time:

C:"Why was God in heaven when Jesus was his son?"

R: "Jesus had to live by faith like the rest of us couldn't have Heavenly Father right there, but made sure that Joseph was there to watch over him and make sure he was okay."

C: "Well who is Jesus' mother?"  ["Mary"]

R: Mary.

C: "Well what about Heavenly Mother?"

R: Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother are married and they are the parent's of Jesus' spirit

C:"Well where did they get married?"

R:"[Glance over to Stephen] Hmm.  Good question.  Probably a temple.

C: "Well, how did they get there?"

R: "Do you mean how did they get to Heaven?"

C: "Yeah"

R: "God use to be a man like us and followed the commandments and became God."

I'm not sure I satisfied all his questions, but I'm proud he's asking them.

Simeon is now saying prayers and it is cute as cute.  He's always been quite the faithful praying man around our house and use to insist that we say two or three prayers at meal times.  We've been limiting "Piano Guys" as it has become a full fledged obsession.  It was hard to resist yesterday, however, when in his prayers he prayed to "watch nano guys."   Fine, you win.  C

Christian asked me to day to "keep me in your prayers because I have lots of dangerous adventures."
