The Secret Location of God

Since there has been so many thunderstorms lately I had to come up with a creative way to have the boys not be scared of thunder, but since I ran out of creativity like 4 years ago I just used what my mom used to tell me the reason for thunder is- God is bowling. This has worked wonders with the kids not being scared therefore it has worked wonders in keeping my sanity (Thank you God!). Anyway today we were at Merle Hay Mall returning some things and Jason asked Matt what he thought was down there (pointing down the stairs by Old Navy) and Matt say "God" So people who are searching for God look no further then Merle Hay Bowling Lanes! Apparently my bowling reason has caused a slight bit of confusion and lead to a really cute, sweet answer. If anyone of you people out there have something to ask or a bone to pick with God I would head in that direction, LOL. Some of the answers the kids give me are one of the reasons that being a parent rocks. The other day we were making a bee line for the van because of the rain and when we got inside Ethan asked why God was making it rain. (Oh for a little back story) My mom used to tell me that it rained cause God was crying for all the people who were sick or hurting, so again since one worked for me I gave him that answer, a while ago. But as many of you know kids love repetition he asked again that day and like any parent who is sick of repeating themselves I asked him why he thought it rained and he said, "Well I know you told me that it's because God is sad, but I think he is just watering the flowers". It was so cute. I love being a parent.

That's just so cute, I love the watering flowers comment. Evelyn is always asking about God these days. We were off to a park one day, and I warned the kids that there wasn't a playground at this park. Evelyn said, "Well, I think God put one there anyway."
