Enlightener of the English

When we named Aidan, I explained that we named him after one of the greatest missionaries to the English. He is already living up to his namesake.

One of his friends came over today. While they were playing, Aidan got out his New Bible in Pictures for Little Eyes. He tried to show it to his friend, saying, "Bible! Bible!" In true English fashion, his friend wasn't particularly interested and preferred to focus on the toys.

Aidie opened it up to show him the pictures. It seems he wanted his friend to understand the consequences of rejecting God. He opened to the story of Korah, which shows the ground opening up. He pointed to the rebels falling into the gap, saying, "Men bad!"

Unfortunately Aidan displayed some of the worst characteristics of Evangelicals, as he tried to pull Harry away from jigsaw puzzle to listen to his message, a fight ensued. In the struggle Aidie fell to the ground and Harry banged his head against the wall.

Even though we are suppose to come as little children to the Kingdom of God, I don't think this means we are supposed to punch those we try to bring with us.

This should happen to all potential Evangelicals at an early age ;-)
