The children had a half-day of school today and Applebee's has Children's Meals for $.99 on Wednesday's, so we decided to celebrate lunch today at Applebee's.
The children's Menus were from the movie, "Casper" and all the games and pictures were of ghosts and ghostly things. After they colored for a while, Deanna asked, "Mama, are there ghosts?"
"What do you think, Deanna," I asked. "People say that ghosts are dead people, but what happens to our souls when we die?"
"We either go to Heaven or Hell," Deanna responded, emphatically.
"Right. So how can there be ghosts?" I asked.
On the way home in the van, we struck up the same conversation. Deanna commented that, maybe, ghosts were demons, since they weren't people. I agreed and told her that was what I thought.
"What's a demon, Mommy," Daelyn asked. Deanna quickly responded with an explanation from scripture of how Lucifer and all the angels in Heaven that chose to follow him were thrown out of Heaven. "Lucifer's name was changed to Satan, baby, and he's very evil."
"What happened to him, again," Daelyn asked.
"God kicked him out of Heaven, along with all the angels that wanted to follow him, " I explained again.
Daelyn was silent for a minute and then asked, "Did God do it with His own leg?"
