Yesterday we were driving and listening to Selah, because I'm a Selah freak, and the song "It is Well with My Soul" came on. This is the conversation that Sloan and I had:
Sloan: "Hey Mom? What is a soul?"
Me: "It's your spirit."
Sloan: "Oh...What's a spirit?"
Me: "Uhhh...It's - the, uh, part of you that, ummm, con-connects with God." (yes, it was that painful for me to figure out an answer to this question)
Sloan: "OOOHHHH. How does a spirit connect with God?"
Me: *sigh* "Well, your spirit wants to talk with God and sing praises to Him, so if you let it do that, then you connect with God." I realize at this point I am treading the theological waters and beginning to sink.
Sloan: (thinks for a moment) "What does a spirit look like?"
Me: "Well-"
Sloan: "Hey look, it's a car transporter!"
Me: "Yeah, look. How many cars does it have on it?" And this is where the conversation ends. *sigh of relief*
I will encourage Sloan to bring this topic back up with his daddy at some point.

I've had that conversation with Jonathan too. If it makes you feel any better, it didn't go so well for me either. *sigh* They'll get it when they're older! Thank goodness for car transporters :)
