What's Taking Jesus So Long...

So like i posted earlier, we decided that the sermons on Sundays and Bible Studies on Fridays will be based on the Apostle's Creed. The bible studies will be taking my sermons deeper...

anyway, so this Friday was the first Bible Study.
We have 10 small groups, and i don't lead one, so i get to choose which one to sit in on.

I sat in one of the 10th grade ones, and it was rather interesting. I know my bible study lessons aren't the best and most fun things in the world... but it gets interesting when kids take some of the questions, and start reflecting on what things mean to them and so forth...

The group started talking about creation, and one got off on a tangent of different planets and life on other planets and if they believe in God, and if God created them and so forth.
The guy was talking about maybe God made an alternate universe across the galaxy where in this planet, Adam and Eve didn't take the apple... it got pretty weird (he's a weird kid, a good boy, but a tad bit weird.) heh.

then another boy chimed in saying that the universe just seems too big and too vast for us to be the only form of life.
then he became silent.
then he said, "OH! maybe that's what's taking Jesus so long for him to come back to us. He's stopping by all these other planets before he gets to earth."

I couldn't stop laughing.

i love our kids.
