Big Questions

Kids ask Big questions and they also ask Tough questions. Big with a capital B and Tough with a capital C.

It's part of growing up and learning about the world around them. Some questions are easy to answer. Questions like, "why do I have to eat my vegetables?" and "Why do I have to go to bed?" are easier to answer then "Who is God" and "Why do we pray?" and "Why do we go to church?"

As adults and Christians it is important to answer the questions are children pose, but sometimes it's hard to answer questions about faith because we might not even know the answer ourselves or while we may have the answer inside our hearts articulating a response in terms that a youngster will be able to understand.

I'm not going to pretend like I have all the answers, because as everyone knows I'm practically clueless myself; but I can give ideas and directions and tell you what other people say.

From now on Thursdays are going to be The Big Questions Day. I hope they give you tips on how to deal the questions kids ask and to perhaps give you another way of looking at questions of faith.
