How My Wife Lied to Our Three-Year-Old about The Gingerbread Man

The other day, I overheard my wife reading the story of The Gingerbread Man to our three-year-old, Ivy. It's a classic.

However, I sensed she was taking a little poetic license with the ending.

Using the picture above, my wife ended the story of The Gingerbread Man like this: "And then the funny fox used his teeth to tickle the feet of the gingerbread man. The end."

I kid you not.

As a general rule, I try to take all of my questions to Jesus and the Bible.  So, how did Jesus "build" community?   This is where I invite you to do your own study on how Jesus used meals to connect with people.

A day exploring  Jesus and disciplemaking  with college students who are studying for ministry  at Moody Bible Institute. (Wondering what Kavanah is? Go here. )   The more students are engaged, the more they can learn.   (If video above doesn't appear,  go here. ) The more they learn, the greater the chance that they'll be transformed by Jesus.   The more they are transformed by Jesus, the greater possibility that they will change the way they live in the world.   The more they change the way they live in the world, the more they will change the world...  one heart at a time... just like Jesus . Hey! You've read all the way to the end. You must be a real friend. Thank you. Here's a fun short video from my 11-year-old daughter for my birthday last week:  )  Track with me on social media!
