Tonight as I put Ellie to bed, she prayed for Mary (from the Little House books) "that she would be able to go to the blind college because she is blind." Then she abruptly stopped and said, "Oh, I can't pray that because God isn't in that world! That was a long time ago."
That brought up lots of different confusing subjects: fiction/reality, present/past, and God's omnipresence. It was an interesting conversation, and I'm sure we'll have a lot more of them about this topic.
