Kate and I went to the Caronport Tot Lot yesterday. We were sitting on a bench, and she wanted to pretend we were on an airplane. I said, "OK, you be the pilot."
Kate: "No, Pilate was at church with Jesus!"
I remember thinking the same when I was a kid. Why was this guy in the Bible named Pilate? I mean, they didn't even have airplanes back then!

Kate Ortlund, Theologian -
Kate asked me (as we were going through the stations of the cross on Good Friday morning) why Jesus was so sad. "Did he want his Mommy?," she asked? I wasn't quite sure what to say, so I said, "No, I think he wanted his Daddy"--meaning his father in Heaven, but that's a nuance we'll get to later. She also learned that Jesus got a big, big owie, but that he is happy now, because he is alive and with God in heaven - and that's we're happy, because we can be with God now too.
The gospel for two year olds!
