Questions

Max asks me a lot about God.
"Where is heaven?"
"Who is God, exactly?"
"How did he make people?"
"Why can't we talk to people after they go to heaven?"
"What is a person's spirit?"
"How can it be inside you but we can't see it?"
"What if I have to go to heaven first and you and Daddy and Isla don't get to go yet? I don't want to be alone there. Will they let you come with me?"
He doesn't dance around the tough questions. He is so honest and direct that I feel he was sent here to teach me. He makes me examine my own beliefs through his eyes. He doesn't accept 'easy' answers and frankly, he deserves more than that from me. He makes me think harder and dig deep. He is helping me along my journey and I am ever grateful that he is here, a little hand I can hold. I only hope that I can be as honest and direct with my answers. I feel that his spiritual education is my most important job and I want to do it really, really well.
