Maïa is a very thoughtful little girl who does a lot of wondering. Intermittently, she becomes interested in God, in heaven, and in the great universe. We're working through who God is and what happens when one dies — not the easiest of topics for anyone to grapple with. Here are some snatches of conversations we've had over the past couple of months:
Maïa: God is not a he or a she. God is it.
Derek: Well, Maïa, it's true that God isn't a he or a she, but we call God he and sometimes even she.
Maïa: No. God is IT.

Maïa: When I die, I will become a skull in heaven.

Derek: That's a cemetery, Maïa. That's where we put the bodies of people when they die.
Maïa: That's heaven, Daddy.
