We just finished our family devotion and the kids are off to bed. I am about to study for our Home Bible Fellowship. We have it here on Thursday nights. Kim's daddy is having open heart surgery in the morning around 6:30. Please pray for them during the day. We have been having really good devotions. Last night was one of the best. We are going through Acts and every night Dave just reads a portion to us. Then he goes back and asks questions about the passage and previous passages. Saturday afternoon on the drive home from Birmingham, Erin told us about someone who said God wasn't real. So Dave posed the question to all three of the kids "Do you believe God is real?" and "Why do you believe God is real?" They all three said they believed God was real but none could say why. So instead of answering for them, Dave left the to think about it. Every day he would ask them again individually. So last night he asked the question again "why do you believe God is real?." Abby said because of the world, Samo said cause He loves him and Erin said because of sin. Of course the answer we were looking for was because we see Him in the Word and in nature. They really started to understand the more we talked. Abby was looking stuff up in her Bible and they were all three referring back to the past couple of Sunday School lessons. Its really neat to see them beginning to understand.
