One Easter about 12 yrs ago, my family and I were watching an animated video. It was Easter Sunday and my family only consisted of me, my wife, and my 2 oldest boys. My oldest boy Matt was just shy of 5yrs old and his younger brother Josh was 3yrs and 4mths. Our family has grown since then by 2 more boys, Jeremy and Aaron. Well anyway getting back to the story, we were watching Jesus on his 3 day journey from his death, burial, and ressurection. Well, we had gotten to the part when Jesus was suffering at the hands of the soldiers, under the command of pontius pilate. We are a Christian family and my little guys already knew about Jesus and who he is . My boys were getting upset at the suffering of Jesus, but they really wanted to keep watching as this was an animated family movie. Now came the time of Jesus' crucifixion and the soldier's laid him on the cross and they began to pound the nails into his hands and then his feet. The soldiers then picked up the cross and set it into a hole they had dug so that it would stand erect. When my 2 boys saw this they both had tears streaming down their little faces. At about that same time my 3 yr old turned to me and looked me right in my teared up eye's and with all the innocense of a child said: " Daddy, why didn't they just glue him?" That was one of those moments in time that I will never forget. They continued to watch and later found that Jesus died , he was buried, and the most amazing thing happened after that. He rose from the dead and is alive forever more, that turned their sorrow into joy. I hope you enjoyed this true story. Ron
