Second Grade Theology

I don’t know what they were teaching at Vacation Bible School last week but this morning Leah was talking about heaven. She said that in heaven you can get whatever you want for free.

She dreamily described how they would have all the WebKinz lined up and you could pick whichever one you wanted. After that you could go to the ice cream section and select your flavor. I was smiling at her heavenly fantasy, wishing that these conversations would last into her teen-age years.

She continued and said in devil heaven you have to pay $1,000 for whatever you want. What??!!!! Devil heaven?

We attend a Methodist church. A very liberal Methodist church that even includes a gay and lesbian group. We do not attend a fire and brimstone, Tammy Faye Bakker fundamentalist church. I am afraid to ask her what merits a trip to devil heaven.
