Susanna: I brought the book about Abraham Lincoln to read.
Nathan: Abraham Winkin did a cool fwip.
Susanna (outraged): No, he did NOT do a flip! He was real.
Nathan: Abraham Winkin was wooking the other way, and he got shot in the back of the head.
Susanna: Let me read that part to you. ". . . while President Lincoln and his wife were watching a play, seated in the pres . . . presidential box in the Ford Theater, John Winkes Boothe, who sympa- . . . sympathized with the South-ern Cows"
Me: Southern Cause.
Susanna: ". . . Southern cause, had shot him in the head." That means he died.
Nathan: Yes, and then he came back alive.
Susanna (outraged again): NO, he did NOT come back alive again. This is not a movie, Nathan! This is real.
Nathan: He came back alive.
Susanna (adamant): He did NOT come back alive. Except in God's world. He came back alive in God's world, because I just KNOW he believed in God.

Hilarious! Made me laugh out loud=)
Hi Jon! I was so delighted to find this blog the other morning. I hope you all are well. My colleagues here aren't nearly as exciting as Susanna, Nathan, and Michael. You can tell Susanna that she has a better grasp on history than many people here do-- it's funny (in a sad way) to watch secular academics struggle to understand faith and how that might affect someone's life.
