From very early on we could tell that Camdyn would be an analytical thinker. Like every other Christian for the last two thousand years he cannot wrap his mind around the simultaneous oneness and threeness of God. Questions from a five year old will truly force a father to work out his own understanding of the Holy Trinity. Tonight, during our family worship time, this discussion came up again. I mentioned something of how Jesus brings us to God and having an understanding of Christ's deity, Camdyn told me that this made him think there are two gods. I began a brief discourse in orthodox Trinitarianism on how the Father and the Son are indeed one while also being distinct persons. While I was talking Camdyn's eyebrows raised and a look of excitement came over his face. It looked as though he had an "aha" moment. He seemed to be excited, and as his father I was beginning to get excited as well over my young son grasping such profound truth. Then he made me aware of the true source of his excitement. "Dad," he said, "there are three frogs on the window." I love my boys.
