    I pretty sure I can prove that I'm descended from inanimate matter without having to use DNA evidence.

    Wren, I would suggest "The top ten proofs" by Bob Dutko It's a CD series that explains alot of possible questions your child may have. I beleive it's intended for adults but we've had dd7 & dd8 listen to them with us.

    Thanks for the suggestion Skylersmommy. It is not that she has a lot of questions, maybe they are a lot for a kid.

    As most of you get and know, she has asked a lot of questions since she could ask questions. Particularly when they something is out of sequence. I phrase it that way because I do want to distinquish between faith and religion.

    Anyway, I am finding I am explaining things as I have come to believe things, which make me a heretic.

    It is kind of like here. You take what feels right for your kid and leave what doesn't. Same with religion. You go with what works and feels right. And sometimes the path changes. I just wish they wouldn't make it so hard to belong.

    It's strange to me that they want to make it so hard to belong.

    Kind of like the opposite of Mormonism. They go out of their way to get you to sign up.

    I'm just glad that I can potentially become a married Catholic priest because I'm baptized Lutheran. That exception to the rule always cracks me up and kind of makes me *want* to become a married Catholic priest just so that I can wander around bringing my wife and kids to mass.
