God??

I was talking to my oldest Niece on the phone this morning (she's going to be six in July). She was educating me about planets, and how they can die. I admit, this is something I either didn't know... or didn't retain from school. Anywho... we moved on to the weather, which is what she is also learning about in kindergarten, and her recent "Fun, fun, fun!" field trip to NCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research), and suddenly I'm being asked the very difficult and unexpected question:

"Aunt Amy, is God in your world?"

WHAT??

I paused for a second, knowing that I had to answer this question very carefully. I am, after all, her Godmother! haha I tried not to laugh during my time of discomfort and confusion and answered with the appropriate, "Yes, E, God is in my world."

WHEW! That was a close one. I'm still laughing... and hoping that I'm not the one she asks about where babies come from!
