Where'd that house go?

My favorite person to discuss theology with is my 3-year-old son, Jay. My favorite person to discuss Cookie Monster with is my 2-year-old son, Daniel. More on that another time.

Recently, Jay and I were discussing the afterlife and the final destinations of those who trust in Christ and those who don't. He keeps these discussions in his head and brings portions of them back into conversation at the strangest times.

This past week, our church paid a company to demolish and haul away a home next door to our parking lot. We bought the property a few months ago to expand our parking. After church, Jay walked out to my truck with me.


Jay: Dad, can I ride home with you?

Me: Sure you can.

Jay: Dad, why is Mr. Thomas driving where the house used to be?

Me: Well, that's a new place to park and he's moving his car. Did you notice that the apple tree is missing?

Jay: Where did it go?

Me: They dug it up and took it with the house.

Jay: Where did the house go?

Me: Where do you think the house went?

Jay: Um, I think it probably went to Hell.

Technically, the house was not "saved" when it's time on this earth ended, so Jay is most likely correct.

Maybe cookie monster was in one of his crazed gotta-have-a-cookie RIGHT NOW lunatic moment and ate the house.
