On our way to church we often find ourselves discussing how some people do not go to church - some not to our church and some not at all. It always involves helping the children understand that every person has their own choices to make. Some decide not to go to church at all because they choose not to believe. Others have not had the chance yet to learn about the gospel and therefore do not choose to because they do not know. Others choose to attend a different church. Those kinds of things.
So today we're heading to church when our 4 year old promptly notes the path of an on coming car going the opposite way and thereby not going to church. At this point I prepare myself to start in with the choices response again when he expertly claims:
"I know why some people don't go to church. It's so the missionaries will have people to teach when they're on earth."
Very insightful.
