If you watched "Faith Under Fire" this week, I just want to apologize for the last, long ad. If you watched it, you know what I'm talking about. I hope the show grows in popularity so that PAX can be more selective about how they fill those breaks.

Now, I know I didn't answer David K's question about what I would ask God. First of all, some questions are a little too personal to post here. Actually, now that I'm thinking about some of them, I'm feeling a little too embarrassed to type them out.

I was talking with my kids about having questions we'll ask God when we're with Him. One of the kids looked up and said, "I have some questions that I want to ask."

"Like what?" I asked. "Could you share any of them with us?"

"I think so. I'd ask God, 'Why can we see the moon in the daytime sometimes?' And things like that."

"That's a very good question," I said, after a pause. I was debating about what to do. Finally, I said, "You know, some things--not all, but some things--people have been able to figure out. Like the moon, well, you could ask Mrs. P. about that (her science teacher), because she knows a lot about science. I'm pretty sure she could explain that to you, if you want to know. Not that I'm saying she's as smart as God, and there are still a billion questions that she can't answer that only God can, but...you might start with Mrs. P. And then the one's she can't handle, you could try to figure out when you're older, or just wait and ask God."

She listened politely to me, cocked her head to one side, thinking, then stated, "Naw, I think I'll just wait and ask God."
