Out of the Mouth of Babes

{Elijah is marching atop his toy chest while playing his trumpet very enthusiastically.}
L: "Elijah, come here. I want to tell you something."
{Elijah comes without complaining!! I silently thank God for this small victory.}
L: "I don't want you to stand on top of the toy chest anymore. I'm afraid you might break it."
E: "But I have to be a Christian!"
L: "You have to be a Christian?"
E: "I mean, I have to praise the Lord!"
...
L: "Hey! Why don't you praise the Lord on the table outside? That table won't break."
E: "Yeah! That's a good idea Mom! I go outside now?"
