Actually, "is Dod mean like Captain hook," asked Wesley (with his mouth full of Cocoa Puffs) as he thrust his crow's nest from his pirate ship at me across the dinner table.
"No," I said, "God is really nice." (Even though my recent sermon prep. has taken me through Leviticus and Joshua, so I kind of smirked at my own simple answer, considering if I were a Canaanite, I would indeed think God was like Captain Hook, or worse, but hey, the kid's three.)
"Because God loves us?" asked/stated Wesley, more a statement to be confirmed than a question to be answered.
"Yes, God loves us very much."
"But Captain Hook doesn't love anybody?"
"Hmmm.. I don't know. Maybe he loves Smee. But, do you think anyone loves Captain Hook?"
"I don't know."
"Well, maybe that's his problem! Maybe he just wants to be loved."
"Like Darth Bader?"
"Mmmm hmmm, like Darth Vader."
(Wesley wanted to see what Darth "Bader" looked like under his mask, so I cued up the scene from Return of the Jedi, and it opened up a whole world for Wesley about how sometimes villains are good on the inside and just need to be loved. I've always loved the bad guys.)

Excuse for minimal posting in Nov.
I've been enjoying these kinds of things, and that hasn't left much time to write.

Links
Did you know one original use of blogs was to keep track of links and make them available when you were away from your home computer's "add to favorites?" I'm gonna do that now. Feel free to connect yo-self.
By the way, I'm finally getting to achieve my dream for the past 6 or 7 years of sitting at a table picking Jonny Baker's brain. Jealous?
