out of the mouths of babes

I was doing some anecdotal assessments (that's biz talk) the other day and while I was talking to two of my precious little ESL second graders the following interaction occurred.

They were getting familiar with the counting blocks that they use during math. Essentially there these cubes you can stick together that help you learn to add and divide. One little boy had managed to come into a mighty inheritance of counting blocks - which he promptly created a four desk long cross with. He then calls me over to admire his handiwork:

Little boy: I made the place that God died.

Another little boy (head immediately shoots up with fat crocodile tears welling in his eyes):

GOD ISN'T DEAD!

Amen and Hallelujah!
