a conversation with a dead frog...

We came home from church yesterday after a message where the pastor quoted Romans 6:23, For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus.  In Sunday School, Kyle and I taught our second graders about how God feels about sin.  We told them God hates sin and He punishes sin.  Our Bible story was about a man who disobeyed God and God killed him.  Sounds a little harsh, right?  Kyle and I repeated Romans in that the cost of our sin is death...and that sometimes, when we sin, immediate death can happen...like if a little one disobeyed their parents and ran through the parking lot or crossed the street without looking...

So, Brooke goes on a walk with Kyle and Snuggles and sees a dead frog in the middle of the street.  Kyle is listening in on her conversation with the frog.  Brooke kneels down and says to the frog, with all seriousness, 'Poor little frog.  You didn't listen to mama frog and now you're dead.  For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life'.  Then she walked on home....

Brooke had her last surgery and turned seven last week!  We are so thankful for her!  Pictures to follow...
