Spiritually Speaking......

It seems that spiritual matters have really been on Ethan's mind lately.
When we were in the car yesterday he started asking me about heaven. I told him that all of the people who love Jesus will be there.
He proudly proclaimed, "I love Jesus!"
"You do?" I asked him.
"Of course I do, Mommy" he replied matter-of-factly, "I'm a Christian."
Just for clarification I went through an abridged Gospel speech, to which he replied, "I know all of that and I believe all of it and I thank Jesus all the time for dying on the cross to save me from my sins."
Well, it sounded pretty sure to me so I went on, "That's great Ethan! Do you know what that means? It means that you can be baptized now!"
Without a moment's hesitation he responded with an excited, "But I've already been baptized, Mommy!"
"You have?" I asked, confused.
"Yep!", he replied proudly, "I baptized myself in the bathtub!"

This morning I heard him humming a soft tune and asked him what he was singing.
"Just a song I am making up," he said.
"Can you sing it for me?" I inquired.
He did, a few times. Each time it changed a little but the final product was something like this:

Jesus is in my whole heart.
He made the universe and He made me.
I thank Him every day for being my Savior.
The whole Earth sings.
Because Jesus loves us.

The tune was actually really nice and I hope to get the video camera out soon to have a record of his song to add as a bonus track on his first CD!
