Jelly Beans

Lucy: Mom, do we HAVE to go to church today?
Me: Yes, of all the days to go to church, we should go today.  It's Easter, the highest Holy Day we have as Christians.  Do you know what we're celebrating?
Lucy: That God died?
Me: No.  That God died and is alive!  Our God is alive!
Lucy: Soooo ... where do the jellybeans come in?

Not everything runs on batteries

We lit a candle in the kitchen today for the first time in recent memory.  After a few hours it started to burn a smaller flame.

Lucy:  "Mom!  The candle is running out of batteries!"
