Micah and I had a long talk about Good Friday and Easter on the way to school yesterday. He was very excited to ride the bus across the street to the church for a special chapel. We talked about remembering Jesus death on Good Friday and celebrating Jesus resurection on Easter. Micah often amazes us with his understanding and sensativity to really hard concepts so these conversations often turn into theological debates.
After school I asked him how chaple was. He told me that the bus ride was great, but chaple was a little bad. I asked him to explain and this is what he said, "mom, you aren't going to believe it. they talked about all the sad stuff~ Jesus dying, the bad guys who put him there, his sad friends and mom and all the bad stuff we do. You know what?? They forgot the great part. The part about Jesus winning. The part about not staying dead and not letting satan win! It was kinda bad of them to forget that part"
