Well, yeah.  Please don't think I'm copping a pious attitude about this,
because I have the fewest things to be pious about and the most to be
grateful for.  It wasn't my original idea either--I'd heard it from another
parent and thought how cool it would be to try the illustration.
Fortunately, the wheels did turn in her little head, but she could have just
as easily said "Great!  I'm outta here", and not given it another thought.

at her level, what jesus did for his people?   hmm, nothing like that ever
