Significance of the Dove

Courtney started working part time a couple of weeks ago, necessitating us finding a daycare for the kids. Since Landry has started "big" school he is only there in the afternoons. They go to Fellowship Methodist and the people have been wonderful. The afterschool kids arrive in the church's van and place there backpacks in the corner of the sanctuary. High above the pulpit is a stained glass window with several images. Jesus is at the center and surrounded by several others. One of them is the dove that descended upon Jesus at His baptism. After retrieving Landry from the playground, we returned to get his backpack. He pointed at the dove. He said, "That's the Jesus bird. He died for all the birds." No idea where that came from. As an addition, his lesson in Sunday School today was about Jesus' baptism. He said he was scared to be "babatized". I love how he says certain words. Often Courtney and I will manipulate conversations just to hear them. Oh, and today in his story the bird was downgraded from "the Jesus bird", but not to a dove. Today he was an eagle.

Just read the story to Landry and he asked that I add this. "I love dad." (If only he knew now was the time to ask for the Wii.) I love him too.
