Conversations

Like other kiddos his age, BA doesn't separate reality from fiction, nor does he discern past from present. He often prays for people in the Bible as if they are still living. For example, from time to time he prays for Jonah- "that he would obey God." This week he was praying for Dinky and Boomer (the two birds in The Fox and the Hound). His request was that they "praise you (God) and seek you (God.)" We know that eventually he will stop praying for things that aren't "real," but in the mean time, we enjoy the sweetness of the prayers.

Hey i think that is so sweet. I know myself that when you tell me he prayed for last night I know that God had laid my name on his heart, because I had had a bad day or really just needed to be lifted up. So I know he is being very serious when he prays Thank you BA.
P.S. has he put the cat in the box for disobeying?

He hasn't put the cat in the box for disobeying, but he has told her not to scratch him because that's sinning to hurt other people.
