Kids' Views on Scripture

Isaac was talking to me in the car the other day. And he said, "Mommy can a fruit tree have olives? Can vine have figs? No, that's so silly."
We were listening to Hannah's Hundreds IV covering the book of James. It is always nice to know they're listening.

Jam 3:10 NKJV - Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.
Jam 3:11 NKJV - Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening?
Jam 3:12 NKJV - Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh.
Jam 3:13 NKJV - Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom.
Jam 3:14 NKJV - But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.
Jam 3:15 NKJV - This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.
Jam 3:16 NKJV - For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.
Jam 3:17 NKJV - But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
Jam 3:18 NKJV - Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

Yesterday we were working on our New Testament books with some flashcards I made, and Isaac had laid out: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts and then just stopped. So I asked him, "What are you looking for?" and he said, "Letters." So I asked, "What comes after that?" and he said "To the Romans." I guess there are 28 books in his New Testament.
On the way to church last night Abigail said to me, "My shoelaces are snakes, they're trying to trick me into eating fruit. Mommy I won't ever eat fruit. Eating fruit is bad." We will have to go over the garden of Eden again I guess.

Even Indiana thinks every book is a Bible. It's nice to know she has the most important book down. But anything that isn't a board book is a Bible. Last night in church she was saying "Bible" and Jake handed her her Bible, she smacked it away and said, "No, Bible!" pointing vigorously at the song book. It was time to sing and she knew she needed that "Bible" to do it.
