Parker's Prayer

"Dear God, I pray for baby Blake that he would be a good boy. Dear God, please help baby Blake be nice to his friends. Dear God, please keep baby Blake safe from the bad guys."

"Dear God, please help baby Kayla be nice. Dear God, please help baby Kayla to have a birthday fast so she can be four like me. Dear God, keep the bad guys away from baby Kayla's house."

"Mom, can I talk to Jesus now? "

"Sure, but I think he was listening in on the first prayer though."

"Dear Jesus, please keep the Cubs safe from the bad guys. Dear Jesus, thank you for Christmas. Amen. "


Questions: why is he obsessed with "bad guys" and how do you explain the onenesss of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit to a four year old? I'm 30, and it's still a bit overwhelming to me. (don't send me a copy of the cardinal truths. I believe in the Trinity..remember my turquoise blood? I'm just saying that sometimes it is difficult to wrap my mind around the concept)

how precious is that? I love it! And only CBC people know about the book Cardinal Truth...never heard of it before. I think we should have Parker pray at Janna's wedding reception!

I know... who exactly are the bad guys? Can we ask Parker that? I'm really curious.. hahaha
I don't know about the trinity... like you said it's hard as an adult to wrap your mind around... maybe tell him it's a mystery that God will explain better when we get to heaven?

I second Parker's prayer for the Cubs! Please keep the Cubs safe from the bad guys who try to score runs playing against the Cubs! :)
