This week: 138 pages

This semester: 138 pages

1. Maybe we are too educated, too "smart," to name these creatures in the simple language of a child: monsters.

2. And to imagine God answerings it by "shooting down prayer"...well. it was just incredible.

3. But now he (Colton), had become a messenger, a tiny tour guide for a departing heavenly traveler.



My favorite sentence is number one. I like this one best because it tells that adults spend too much time using "up-scale" words and definitions, when there is another word for it that is much smaller. Perhaps you should ask a child to define every word you say, it becomes very innocent. A monster in the definition of a child is a big, scary creature, who hides under your bed, who creates shadows in your room, and the creaking and ticking you hear. Adults may say a monster is an imaginary or legendary creature, that combines parts from various animal or human forms. And foror me, when I think of monsters, I think of Sully from Monsters Inc.
