Funny Garrett Story

Today, Garrett was drawing a picture (thankfully on paper and not on his carpet as he has done lately.) He showed me the picture and I asked him what he drew and he said "God." God took up the entire page from top to bottom. Then Garrett went on to say that Superman was really little compared to God, but Superman can fly and God can't.

I said, "Well, God could fly if he wanted to. But he doesn't need to because he's everywhere all the time." Hard concept to explain or grasp, especially when dealing with a 4 year old.

Garrett focused on the fact that I said he "could fly" and said "No way. God can't fly. He has feet."

Me, "Superman has feet too and he can fly. What does that mean?"

Him, "God is a person and people don't fly."

Me, "Superman is a person and can fly. So God can too."

Him, "Well, in my Bible, the pictures do not show God flying. But all the pictures I've seen of Superman, he's flying."

Apparently we need an illustrated Bible showing God flying so Garrett can grasp that concept (and know that Momma was right about this one).
