It’s been a little over a year since I last posted questions that the boys have been asking. I thought I would post another list of questions that our inquisitive boys have been asking as we walk to school, church and everywhere in between.

Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Deuteronomy 6:5-7
Some questions have no immediate answers. Tell the boys to keep asking them, though. It is in seeking answers to questions that we find truth. We continue to pray for you all as you help not only your sons, but others, find the way, truth and life in Jesus.
Your boys are precious! Love this list! I have wondered myself about #13 🙂 Blessing to you and the boys!
I didn’t know until I got to Cameroon that there were different types and that not all of them carry malaria.
