We were reading the Old Testament (these have proven to be some memorable times in many ways). We had just read that God took Moses. Taylin asked an obvious question, "Where did God take Moses." I explained he was old, it was time for him to die, so he went to live with God. We have had the death conversation a few times already. We have had a few more conversations of things I never imagined so early in her life. We ended the reading for the night with Moses' death. I told her we would read about the new prophet, Joshua. I then explained how when President Hinckley was taken by God (to stay with the wording earlier), President Monson was called as the Latter-Day Prophet. She proceeded to tell me that when President Monson dies that Rock Bama guy will be the prophet. I then had to explain a little bit about the separation between church and state. We hit the politics and gospel in one night! His name really stands out. I hope she will come to realize there is more in a name when choosing friends and her future husband! She picks up on so much, even though it isn't everything.

I think it is definitely more fun for little kids to say. I still can't believe he won!!!
Well I like Rock Bama! :) I may have to call him that myself...like I'll ever meet him, but if I did- I might think about it. And just for the record, I think he'll be a good president...no, not president of the church, president of the country.
