More on Jacob and God and Dinosaurs and Santa Claus
At the natural history museum today Jacob asked me when Santa Claus was going to die. I said Santa Claus was like a super hero, and that he never really dies. Jacob said, "like God." And I said, "Yes, if you believe in God." And Jacob said, "You don't believe in God?" And I said, "No, but it's OK if you do." And Jacob said, "Does God live forever? He never dies, right?" And I said, "That's what a lot of people believe." And Jacob said, "Did these dinosaurs die?" And I said, "Yes." And Jacob said, "And their skin melted off, leaving the bones behind?" And I said, "Yes." And then we had a snack.

Sounds like Jacob is doing a lot of thinking these days. Isn't it wonderful how their little minds expand and think beyound the everyday life. It is very interesting how most children seem to know "God".
I love getting questions like these. Heh. I'm never, ever prepared for them.
