My 4-year-old's Literal Hermeneutic

I have been completely out of commission for some time now. I have several posts partially written that I am mulling over in my brain, most still related to historic premil eschatology which was the topic of conversation several months ago on upward affections. I am up to my nose in work right now so I still don't have time post anything of substance. I just wanted to share this quick story about my 4 year old daughter that might brighten your day.

The other day my wife asked my two daughters to clean their room. Ashlyn is 8 years old and Kara is 4. After a few minutes of cleaning my wife heard Ashlyn speaking to Kara in sort of a confused voice....

"Well what should I do with it then?"

To which Kara replied very matter-of-factly...

"I don't know, I just know that at church they told us not to put the Bible on the shelf...maybe you should put it on the chair or somethin..."

It must have been that Scofield study bible that she teethed on when she way a baby!
