"Now that Mason is in his big boy bed, bedtime includes mommy too, not just daddy. I now lay on his pillow next to him as Joel reads to, sings to, and prays for us. Having been excluded from the bedtime routine for over a year now, I have some insight into what deep spritual conversation occurs in those times.
Mason: Mommy, where is Jesus?
Me: Jesus is in Heaven.
Mason: Why he live in Heaven?
Me: Because he lives there with God, his Father.
Joel (aka, Seminarian, theologian): Mason, do you know who doesn't live Heaven? The Holy Spirit. He lives in Daddy and Mommy but we can't see him.
Mason and Mommy: blank stares
Mason: You guys leave now."

1. Thank you for the affirmation
2. I'm glad someone else thought it was funny. Every time I read this post I laugh out loud, but I thought maybe it was just me because I'm his dad and I was there.
You're a good man Joel, a good husband, and a good father. Don't forget it. And you don't have to have a degree to be a counselor.
