So... as we are snuggled in reading Little House in the big woods, the question comes up -
What is a sabbath day? Why can Laura not play?
So... I was trying to explain the concept of the sabbath to Holly and Hunter - then I had to explain why people didn't do work, which meant going over creation, and resting on the 7th day, then to Moses, then to the 10 commandments, then to Moses' bring the people out of Egypt, then to finally explaining the keeping the Sabbath day holy is a commandment, then I started getting into the old testament vs the new as I was going to get into - the fact that Jesus doesn't say the same things about the Sabbath as what is said in the old testament.... I was going to get into the fact that keeping the sabbath day holy can mean lots of things.... then Holly hits me with a huge one.
Well, mom who is Jesus anyway - I mean he was a guy - just a guy. So we went BACK over that... then she goes
Who is God? Can I see him, touch him, where is he? Up there?
What happens when we die, how can a talk to God if my body is in the ground.
How can I see him if my brain stays behind? You need your brain to see.
How can I be happy without my brain, without my heart? So.... after some talk....
Mom, what is my soul?
Holy Questions I tell you.... I am blown away....

WOW!!!!! Those are some loaded questions. Sounds like you had a good handle on it and answered well. I am not sure I would have been that prepared.
