Breakfast With Asher

"Where does Satan-The-Bad-Guy live?"

Excuse me?

Where's my coffee?

Does this warrant a deep theological answer or just a passing comment?

"Um, he lives in hell." Quite sure we've never used that word before with the kids, but I couldn't think of a reason not to introduce it now.

"Can we drive there?"

And so began the breakfast discussion of where "he" lives, how he lives in both hell and on earth, and how he makes people sad and tries to persuade us to not love Jesus. All the while wondering if my answers had any Biblical basis whatsoever.

As well as, why we can't drive there. All at 7:15 a.m.

The end.

I have often been completely stumped by deep theological questions from preschoolers. 75% of which revolve around Satan.

Take a stab at this one: "Mom, when Satan got kicked out of heaven, did he lose his wings? Or does he still have them?"
