Another new perspective

One of the refugees pointed out this enigma to me.

Americans get all upset over polygamy and say how it is very wrong, but they defend and promote homosexuality (as a generalization). He went on to say that there are even homosexual churches and pastors, but God never sent fire to destroy a city due to it's polygamy.

(The refugee is not pro-polygamy, but pointing out the dichotomy of American culture's thinking on sexuality). After he said it, I could think of many cases where people have been prosecuted for polygamy in the US.

This other new perspective is from our son, who is undergoing the arduous exercises of potty training.

Last night as we read about baby Jesus, he wanted to know everyone's names, including all the shepherds. Then he said that the bed for the baby was no good, that the baby was sad and that he should come to our house. I told him he could come to live in our hearts and he said Jesus could come to his heart. Then he wanted to know if baby Jesus peed and pooed. When he found out he did, he wanted to know if Jesus got stickers and candy for peeing and pooing.

How could I answer that one?

I told him that maybe some day he could ask Mary.
