An Innocent Question

During this last week, iTunes offered some great Christmas music to download for free, and also offered (for free) the Bible Experience's reading of Luke 2 (the Christmas story). The Bible Experience is a dramatic reading (complete with crowd noises, baby's cries, and a musical soundtrack behind the reading) of the TNIV Bible that was read by professional actors with inflection and excitement. From this short sampling, it seems to truly be an "experience" of the Bible and brings it to life in a new and fresh way.

Anyway, the kids have asked to listen to it several times over the last few days. (Maranatha always says "bee-bee" whenever she hears the baby cry while the reader is talking about Mary giving birth to a son.) Tonight, Ethan asked to listen to it again, and while we were listening, he would ask a question here or there (like, "what does 'disturbed' mean?"-- since King Herod was disturbed at the news that a new King had been born).

But then Baxter came out with the cutest question: "Is that God talking?"

Me: "No, darlin, that's just a man reading from the Bible, but it IS God's Word."

Baxter: "Oh. Yeah."

:) Kids do in fact say the darnedest things.
