My kids ask hard questions. All kids do. My kids are double Pastor Kids as both my wife and I are pastors. So it is not uncommon to get faith questions at random times. As we drive home from school one day I got “Did God make roads?” So we talked about how God made people and gave us brains so we could think and create and invent. God didn’t make the roads, but God made people who learned how to make roads.
Well, last night in an effort to avoid going to sleep the question was “Was God born?” Well, I told them, God just is. We believe God was here before anything else and then God made the world, the sun, the moon, the stars, all that we see, but God just is.
Nothing quite like Aristotelian philosophy of the unmoved mover with 6 year olds at bedtime.
