A Sequel to the Bible???

Josie has been very interested in religion, she asked to attend an after-school bible program last school year, goes to GEMS (a church based program - a lot like girl scouts) and has been reading her childrens' bible.

It was this last activity that prompted this conversation as we were sitting in the Jeep waiting for Paul and Wyatt to come outside.

"Mommy! I NEED to get the next book! I can't WAIT to read it!" She was almost breathless as she is telling me this.

"What book?" Cause she is reading the BIBLE after all.

"You know...like the books you read. I want to read the next Bible."

Um-ok.

"Honey, there isn't another book that comes after the Bible." I hated to disappoint her, but I honestly couldn't think of another response.

"Yes there is! Look!" And she proceeds to flip to the back of the book and finds the very last page of the Bible where there is a drawing of Jesus - or God, I'm not sure. "Look! Right there! It says 'I'll come back'."

Um-ok.

I tried to explain the Bible to her, but she is fairly insistent that there will be or that there is a sequel.

For now, she is happy reading the Childrens' Bible over and over.
