I went into the other bathroom to wipe Ivy the other morning, and heard Thea 'preaching' to her stuffed animals. Apparently she was holding a 'service' in her room. Truly, a priceless moment. Here's just a few things I overheard: 'You must must love Jesus! You will be tempted to laugh at someone if they have a broken arm! You will be tempted to laugh if you see someone with a broken cheek! You will be tempted to laugh if they have a broken foot! You have to pray to not be tempted! You must love Jesus! It does not matter if the cheetah is faster than any other animal! It does not matter if the giraffe is taller than any other animal! It does not matter if the elephant if fatter than any other animal! God loves all the animals! He made them, He made all the animals! (here's where she goes all fire & brimstone on their furry butts) 'If you eat the candy you will be cranky! It will make you kill people! It will make you go in hell! You can not eat the candy! You must eat the fruits of the spirit! And you will go to Heaven!' (I think we need to clear up a few theological points with her concerning grace :{ I thought you'd appreciate hearing about our daughter the 'preacher' it was pretty darn cute.
