i think enough time has passed…

i think enough time has passed to tell you this story…without it being a complete and total sacrilege…

…

so, there we were…

getting ready to go to church on good friday…

and we find ourselves in a conversation with our kids, our four year-olds…about Jesus dying…actually about Jesus being killed…

my wife: so, today you’re going to hear about how Jesus died.

me: actually, that Jesus was killed.

our son: Jesus died? Jesus was killed?

me: yes.

our son: who killed him?

me: some people who were not very nice.

our son: were they bad guys? were they bad ninjas?

…

and that was the end of the conversation…as my wife and i looked at each other knowingly–“well, that went well”…
