H, you have been asking me if I love Jesus more than you.

I enjoy the precociousness of it all, but I do wonder where you get the comparison from.

After all, you have never asked me if I love K more than you. Or if I love mom more than you.

Maybe a teacher in Sunday School saying something like:

We should love Jesus more than anything.

And it’s true. We should.

But the way I explained it to you that seemed to get across best is that love is different.

I don’t love you the same way as I do Mom. I don’t love mom the same way I love Huck. And I certainly don’t love Huck the same way that I love Jesus.

The most similar way that I love is with my children. And I think that’s how God loves us too.

I love you.

-Dad

We did some naked cleaning last night.

See, there was a miscommunication.

Everyone was headed for the bathtub and we decided we were going to pick up toys first.

Between all the back and forth, Mom and I began barking orders – and turning around, realized that you were both completely naked.

We all laughed about it but just kept going.

Ha!

I love the innocence of it all still.

I love you.

H, mom and I were talking about something a few days ago and I asked about the median incomes in Midland vs Lubbock, wondering how they compare.

It turns out Midland is quite a bit higher than Lubbock – $75,266 vs $44,139.

But when I had it pulled up on my phone, you looked over my shoulder and exclaimed:

Dad! What is that?

Before I could answer, you continued:

If I was that many years old, I would be dead!

Haha! You are my silly goose.

In that many years, I plan to be be in the arms of Jesus – with all of you.

I love you.

-Dad
