Kids Talk About God

“If I messed up like Peter, I’d probably hide under my bed and hope Jesus didn’t notice,” says Ella, 10. “Or maybe I’d bring him cookies first. Then, I would apologize.”That might have been tempting for Peter, too.

The Snake and the Frog

I remember one beautiful afternoon when my wife and I went to check the water level in a dirt tank. Upon arriving we heard this muffled high-pitched squeak. Man was it squeaking, you might say squeaking for dear life.We found a small snake, a red racer, with a frog in his mouth.
