Today I was watching the ‘Sky’ VBS worship DVD with my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter, Raegan. She saw a hot air balloon and commented to me about how big they were. All the kids at this summer’s VBS program saw a real hot air balloon inflated, and she remembered that.

So I asked her if she got in the balloon, to which she replied, “No. But if I was a boy, I would’ve got in it, but I’m not a boy yet.”

She is just beginning to understand life’s basics and got a few things twisted on that one. But I’ll leave the untwisting of that to her Mom and Dad.

Just as she was a bit confused on the boy/girl thing, I think we adults get just as confused on the God/man connection, as well. Some people misinterpret scripture to say that if we think like God, we become God. Just a little twisted. Correct scripture, but wrong interpretation. Although we should become like God in our moral behavior, we will never become God because we are confined to this worldly, sinful body. This is why we will always need Jesus.

What area of lack of understanding bugs you most about God? What question are you going to ask one day?
