...as we drove to the doctor for the second time this week, clay (7 1/2) asked me why the people killed Jesus on the cross?? because we have read this story in the Bible a few times and discussed it together, i wasn't sure where he was going with this question--but we talked about it briefly again. he then said, "I know He did it for us but I just wish that they didn't kill Jesus and He was still alive today, healing people." it then became more clear to me, although clay understands at some level that Jesus is alive and does heal us today, that he wanted Jesus to touch his body and heal it. he has been struggling to breathe because he has pneumonia. this has been a rough week for my little guy with IV fluids and medicines, x-ray, breathing treatments and mom and dad beating on his back for respiration therapy. we are happy to report that Jesus is healing the infection in clay's lungs! he is asking some really deep questions about God, our family history, nature, etc.--i am so thankful for the joy and laughter clay brings to our family. needless to say, i haven't had a good night's sleep since sunday, so i'm going to bed now...
