So, today we wrote about our favorite Bible story of the year. My little buddy said "When Mary was crying in the tunnel." The tunnel? I am right there in Bible, how could I have missed this? He used his hands to make a "tunnel". Um, that would be a tomb. The rest of the conversation went something like this ...
me: You mean the tomb?
LB: Yes, the tomb.
me: Why was she crying at the tomb?
LB: Because the big stone was moved and someone had stolen her Lord.
(Now, let me clarify something. At this point I really thought we were back on track. I mean, he knew she was crying because "her Lord" was missing. If only I could see ahead in time, I would have known to stop while I was ahead. But, read on ... I did not stop.)
me: Who rolled away the stone?
LB: Well, that would have been the elfs.
me: The elfs?
LB: Yes, the elfs.
I quickly clarified that it wasn't the "elfs", but rather the angel who rolled away the stone. How I did this without laughing I will never know ... must have been the elfs!
My parents are home after spending over 3 months in Israel serving at the Garden Tomb ... will you ever be able to look at that stone without a little giggle?!
