Thank you! Our mom was all "NO" so then we didn't ever want to talk to her about relationships. Bit us in the rear big time. She had the correct info. Something I'm struggling with in future parenting is those types of feelings and urges. It's like that whole part of your life is supposed to go on ICE until marriage when the hormones constantly melt it for 10 to 15 years!

Hi Elizabeth, My daughter often has the same question whenever we talk about God, "Where is God?" I wondered if you've ever tackled that question before, and what you might recommend as far as talking to kids about this. It seems like a very basic question, but I'm not really sure how to explain an invisible God to a 3-year old.
