Truth vs. Lies

I'm so proud of Noah, I had to share this with you:

This child has a constant need for feeding his brain. He absorbs information like we absorb air. (I seriously can't wait to see what God does with his mind when he's older). It's fairly exhausting for me, because many times I do not have answers for his many questions. So, he's developed a great fondness for reading, because books, of course, are an endless source of information when mom has run out of answers. As such, he received several books for Christmas - a few of which were the Magic Treehouse Research Guides - supposedly "factual" (and I use that term VERY loosely here) books on various topics - anything from Dolphins to Tornadoes.

After Christmas, he started reading one on Space.

I had a pile of stuff for Goodwill accumulating by the door, and one day found the Space book in the pile. I asked Noah why he left his book there, and he said, with disgust, "Get rid of it."

Me: "Why? Did you finish it already?"
Noah: "No. I started it, but I'm not going to finish it because it's full of LIES."
Me: "What do you mean?"
Noah: "Well first, they claim in that book that they don't know how the universe was created or how long it took. THEN they say that one idea is that the universe was created with one big explosion. That's a LIE."
Me (full of pride, of course): "Hmmm."
Noah continues: "I can tell them exactly how the universe was created. GOD did it, and He did it in SEVEN DAYS."
Me: "Well, you could skip over those parts and read the rest - ?"
Noah: "NO. They LIE. I can't believe anything written in that book."

That's my baby!! I sooooo love to see Jesus at work in him!! He's already noticing those little red flags of discernment popping up in his mind. What a gift for a parent!!
