When I was younger, I remember my parents having many conversations with my childhood minister that ended in the saying, “That’ll preach!” Certainly we have all been there, right in the middle of something that would make a wonderful sermon.
That sentiment brings me to today. I went and had lunch with Thomas at his school. Two girls started telling me how two little boys in the class told them they don’t believe in God. They both said that they themselves believe in God, but seemed puzzled how these boys could not believe in Him.
One girl then looked at me and this was our conversation:
A: I believe in God.
Me: Me too! Isn’t God great!?
A: I believe in the tooth fairy too. I mean, the tooth fairy has to be real. How else would money get under your pillow!?!
It made me think… I’m not sure if it’s true that those boys don’t’ believe in God, but I feel rather confident that they probably believe in the tooth fairy. And Santa. And that made me think….That’ll preach.
