Zoe wanted to go to see Eclipse with her friends, instead of going to a church youth pool party. She said she doesn’t care for pool parties ( a curmudgeon like her parents!)
I said, “Neither do I, but Christianity is not a lone sheep experience. Jesus chose to establish this way by living in community with 12 others. That’s how Christian character develops. We grow in relationship.”
“Mum,” she said. “This is not a blog post.”
When I was little, my grandfather used to say in his Bombay English, “See what answers she gives when she is 5. What answers will she give when she is 25?”
In Zoe’s case, I shudder to think!
