BG: wow, why?
LG: Because I like it!
BG: What did you like about it?
LG: I like the carpet floor. I can pretend I am a Borak...whatever....
BG: How about the place out in the country that we looked at today?
LG: NO!
BG: I liked it. It was very secluded. Quiet and it had 2 acres!
LG: Yeah, yeah, yeah...
BG: Well, I am not crazy about your friends around here. They say nasty things and treat their parents badly.
LG: One of them does.
BG: Well, yeah. I think most of them are a little problematic.
LG: Just get over it, dad!
BG: Get over what?
LG: About how bad my friends are. It is a good thing I am not allowed to play with one of them.
BG: Yes, it is...and don't be sassy, boy!

When I Look at the Stars

BG: LG, what do you make of this cool show we are watching about astronomy?
LG: hmmmmmm....well.....i am trying to learn things from it.
BG: I think the images are beautiful.
LG: You can see the sun with a telescope. I am going to go to the moon. YOu can make it to the moon, it is easy. What planet can you not make it to?
BG: You could probably get to maybe one.
LG: Yeah. I think that this telescope can probably look at a lot of stars, but probably not the sun.
BG: You know that the sun is actually a star?
LG: No.
BG: Yes, it is.
LG: and why can it be a star if it is so big.
BG: Because it is so close compared to other stars. It is like looking at a baseball that is right in front of your face, then seeing the baseball far away in the yard.
LG: If you actually got to it and you could see it, it is probably about 13 light years away. inside the earth is probably hotter than the sun.
BG: hmmm....I don't think so. The sun is wicked hot.
LG: NOT!
BG: YOT!
LG: lol
BG: So, do you want to get a telescope?
LG: YES!
BG: Maybe we can go to grandpa's and use his
LG: YYYYYYYYYESSSSS!
BG: Good night buddy.
LG: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
BG: Hey, you remember the band Switchfoot?
LG: no
BG: You remember, "when I look at the stars, I see someone else." Do you know who that "someone else" is?
LG: Who?
BG: He is singing about looking at all of creation and the wonder of it all.
LG: Let me guess, its God?
BG: Right.
LG: Sigh...
BG: What is the matter?
LG: I don't want to go to bed.
BG: When do you think about God, LG?
LG: Not very often.
BG: Hmmmmm...why?
LG: Because I am doing a lot of things!
BG: Really? Like what?
LG: Just stuff, like school work.
BG: So, you aren't thinking about God very much because mommy has you doing school work all the time?
LG: It isn't your fault mom, dad is always joking around.
BG: Well, it isn't my fault. Nothing ever is....
LG: Oh brother, yeah right.......
BG: Ok, so you never think about God?
LG: When i am praying i do.
BG: Is that the only time?
LG: some other times...
BG: now you are just rambling....good night
LG: Good Night.

The pressure mounts...

BG: So, we have to start doing this blog thing before you go to bed at night. I know, since you like to stay up, that you will do whatever it takes to not go to bed...
LG: Yeah, right...
BG: Exactly...ok...so what theological issue do we tackle today?
LG: About punching daddy in the mouth?
Momentary pause for rough housing........
BG: No, I mean what do we want to talk about today?
LG: You mean beating daddy up in the chest?
Momentary pause for rough housing........
BG: Ok, we need to get serious. Do you have anything to say?
LG: I don't have anything to say?
BG: Why don't we talk about God?
LG: We did that last time?
LG: How about what kind of video games we are going to have?
BG: I think video games are silly and aren't very interesting or productive
LG: I still want to talk about them.
LG: I like your ipod daddy.
LG: Tomorrow is the Johnny Appleseed festival. They have apple dumplings. Grandma and Grandpa might take me.
BG: wow that sounds like fun...not........

LG: are we almost done with this? I haven't read alot yet.
BG: what have you read?
LG: I don't remember.
BG: what did you like about other C. S. Lewis stuff?
LG: I don't remember.
BG: Boy, this is boring...
LG: Sigh...................ah.....................
BG: Are you this boring?
LG: I'm hungry
BG: Well, I think the magic is gone with this blog...I don't think we have it anymore...I wonder if we can ever recapture the brillance of our old conversations? Can we LG? Can we?
LG: Tomorrow I guess I will do better.

BG: yes...
LG: one more question: hmmmm....why did they have to crucify Jesus?
BG: you know that, don't you?
LG: no...
BG: you don't know why?
LG: because they hated Him?
BG: yes and what else?
LG: He had to die on the cross for our sins.
BG: Exactly...
LG: Next question...
BG: ok
LG: this is the last thing i am just going to say...we have to get going now....
BG: Shoot
LG: Let's save the blog...goodbye blog...
BG: wow is that all?
LG: yes....
BG: mom says this is totally lame so far...we need more for our fans...
LG: it doesn't matter how much you have as long as they are facts.
BG: interesting and perhaps true...it really doesn't matter how much you have as long
LG: i will ask more tomorrow...
BG: man, this is why we haven't done this in a while....
LG: hmmmmmm....mmmmmm..mmmmmmm. hahahaha.....

Grandpa Hubartt!

LG: hmmm....Grandpa is the leader of the newspaper company.
BG: Is that true? Is he the leader of the whole company?
LG: No, not really.
BG: What is he?
LG: He is the leader of the, just the newspaper... what is newspaper.
BG: well, he is the executive editor of the newspaper, that is a pretty big deal.
LG: I don't even know what that means.
BG: It means that he is responsible and in charge of the entire operation of the newspaper.
LG: oh...ah, i still don't understand.
BG: ok, a newspaper is like a book, only it comes out everyday with stories about what is happening in the neighborhood and the world. people read it to find out what is going on. so it is a lot of work to get all that in the paper in time for people to read it. you buy it at stands or boys often deliver it to your house in the morning or afternoon.
LG: I mostly know that boys come around and throw newspapers on your doorstep.
BG: yeah, anyway, your grandpa has a big job now being in charge. that is pretty cool.
LG: Yeah, is grandpa famous now?
BG: Kind of...
