A little girl in Sunday School was asked, What do we learn from the story of Jesus turning water into wine?
The little girl innocently replied, The more wine we get the better the wedding is.

When I was almost 8 years old, I remember thinking that I had figured out many of life's mysteries. I believed my teachers lived at school and that's why they were never late. I also believed that doctors sold babies at the hospital. At least I used to believe that's where babies came from until one night at the family dinner table I received additional light and revelation on the matter.

I was entering the 3rd grade at the time of my new revelation. My dad told me to spit out my gum because we don't chew gum at the dinner table. I protested that it was not gum. Well then Allisa, what are you chewing? I pulled a condom out of my mouth. My older brother started howling with laughter. My mother, half choking, demanded that I give her that dirty thing immediately! I said, No. Not until you tell me what it is. My dad with a purple face exploded, It's so men can make babies! Now give it to your mother. NOW!! I remember sitting there within the tribal chaos that had ignited thinking, So that's how babies are made! I couldn't wait to tell my best friend of my amazing breakthrough discovery.

I am still very infantile in my understanding of the mysteries of God. My 8 year old self, like the little Sunday School girl, felt like she had such a firm grasp on life's mysteries but really it was mostly just gleanings from stuff that I heard others say and dots that I connected. In reality I had no complete understandings but only small sweet bits of truth swirled in to each of my understandings like the m&m pieces in a dairy queen shake.

My point in taking you down my memory lane is simply this: we are indeed just children here in a sandbox, showing and laughing and playing. I already know that I don't know. I'm just a ridiculous redheaded undergrad desperately seeking the truth and anxious to consider any and every thing you have to say. I believe that the holy ghost IS the key to comprehending the truth of all things. I send my sincere love and gratitude to all of you guys that have taken time to contribute to this interesting conversation.
