Power to the Preschooler

Dear E-

I just want to let you know that I'm on your side.  Sometimes, it's not easy to be a five-year old.  And Sunday School isn't really as fun as all those churchy grownups like to pretend it is. Your mom told me that after the Sunday School lesson on Moses, you refused to participate in the coloring activity because you were very scared about bushes on fire.  I don't blame you for that.  Burning bushes are scary.

It doesn't seem right to go around starting fires just to get attention.  In fact, if you ever start a fire to get someone's attention, you will go to jail.  So, don't do that.  But also, don't worry about bushes on fire.  It only happened once, thousands of years ago.  I'm pretty sure God realized that wasn't a very good idea because he never did it again. 

Anyway, I just want to tell you I'm proud of you. Standing up and refusing to do something that makes you uncomfortable is brave. Thanks for reminding me of that. You are one cool kid. 

Sincerely,

SEE
