Eve's smiling. And God's smiling. Definitely. So much in there, Julianne. Chapters, not blog posts. 'Guess that's why I need to write the book! All right, already! :) Thank you. I’m smiling.

So much in there, Julianne. Chapters, not blog posts. ‘Guess that’s why I need to write the book! All right, already! :) Thank you.

The responses included, "God made the clouds purple this morning." Then someone brings up Adam & Eve. This was, no joke, while they're slurping apple juice. To skirt a segue toward snakes, I ask if anyone knows who Eve was. Amongst the "I don't know" and "huh?" came a "She was the first Mommy." I prompted the "Tell us more," hoping for some warm "mommy" statement I could build on. Instead, this 4 yr. old sighed, slurped a little more apple juice, and said, "She was the first Mommy, 'cause she was a angel in the forest and then the bad god told her to do something bad, and the good god got really, really mad and took away her wings and she couldn't be a angel so she moved and started being a Mommy. But it's ok, 'cause she liked being a Mommy more." Misconstrued distillation of previous Sunday School teachers, parents, "Veggie Tales," I'll never know. What I do know is, when I heard this, and as I reI swear to you, I felt Eve smile. .-= Julianne Fuchs-Musgrave´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.indiainktattoo.com/?p=251">Awakenings</a> =-.
