I told Clara that my laptop died. She then asked, “On the cross?”

Later that day one of the toy’s batteries died (finally). I told the girls the batteries had died and Lily excitedly declared, “Then they will go to heaven!”

And I loved the VBS song of Christ on Calvary that Lily kept singing as “Go and Tell the story of the Christ on Calorie.” It must be that new diet of hers…
