simply confusing...

My little girl has been thinking this afternoon. As we began our trek to pick up the big sister from school, the question was formed.

"Mom, how could Jesus die if He was God?"

My age appropriate answer went something like this...

"You know how when we put water in the freezer it turns into ice? It's still water but now it's frozen water, ice."

Her answer was a simple, "No."

"I know, babe, it is confusing. God will help us understand it someday."

As she sat and pondered for a few seconds, her eyes showed the confusion. I was waiting for her next response. It came, but it wasn't what I was expecting...

"Yea, what's confusing is how ice can become crushed ice..."

The thought process of a five-year-old...
