Kyrie at ChurchPosted by Rick on January 28th, 2008

Rachel wasn’t feeling well yesterday, so I took Kyrie to church. During the Agnus Dei, Kyrie surprised me. Now, we’ve never really discussed who the “Lamb of God” is or what a “sin” is. But as I was singing “Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world,” Kyrie starts saying (very loudly, I might add), “MY SIN! MY SIN!” I laugh a little bit and get her to quiet down, and she starts repeating over and over, “Jesus takes my sin away!” I asked her if she knew what a sin was, and she said, “Naughty.”

I am not sure how she connected the Lamb of God to Jesus, but kids continually amaze me.

As we’re leaving church, she started talking about “baptize and baby brother, the water?”

So I started telling her about baptistm, and I tried to teach her how to make a sphragis with holy water (which she does without the water). She dipped her finger in the water, slowly raised it towards her head, and promptly stuck it in her mouth. That grossed me out a bit, but I tried to get her to do it again. The second (and third and fourth) time, she stuck her finger in the water, and then brushed her hair back on both sides. I think that’s gonna need some work.
