Steve & Leslie's 6 year old son is already asking them:
That afternoon (Jacob has a great imagination and is very creative) Jacob decided to beat some hangers on a cardboard box as he sang out the lyrics of his new song that included the line "God doesn't always say yes to our prayers and that's a true song." This was a rebuttal to a silly song heard earlier in our van that "You can't get to Heaven on roller skates." Jacob then proceeded to ask me how people get to Heaven. I responded by saying that "We become Jesus' friend & He takes us there." He asked, "How does He take us there?" I responded, "Usually when we die." Jacob asked, "Well, what are we supposed to do here?" I responded that "We just let people know that they can be Jesus friend too."
"Well, what are we supposed to do here?"
I wish I'd thought to ask that question at 6. It took me another 25 years or so to come up with that one.
