Sunday School is over now, but before it ended, I received this bizarre report from N (our three year old), regarding what he had learned that day…<\/p>\n
I started the conversation over a lunch of hot dogs and macaroni and cheese. The little guy seemed depressed, and I was trying to figure out why. “How was Sunday School, big guy? Did anything interesting happen?”<\/p>\n
He sighed. “We learned about this guy who went to heaven”<\/p>\n
“You mean Jesus?”<\/p>\n
“No.”<\/p>\n
That puzzled me. “Not Jesus – just some guy?”<\/p>\n
“Yeah, just a guy. He didn’t come back.”<\/p>\n
This was starting to sound like a depressing lesson. “What was his name?”<\/p>\n
“I don’t know. He was just a guy.”<\/p>\n
“So in Sunday School they told you about some guy who went to heaven and didn’t come back?”<\/p>\n
He shrugged, poking at his hot dog. “Yeah, just a guy who went to heaven”<\/p>\n
Hmm… No wonder he was depressed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
