one of those conversations
bkgrd: At tuition, pointing to Baby Isaac in 'Bible Storybook for Children', trying to use it as material to tempt a sentence construction out of my pupil... Isaac was the only son (God's reward) of Abram. God wanted to test Abram's love for Him by asking him to sacrifice Isaac when he was a boy.
me: You see. Who is this? (Baby Isaac)pupil: Baby. me: What's his name? pupil: Isaac. me: Good! Now, see this. (pointing to a little boy on the opposite page) This is Isaac. So, you see... Baby Isaac grew up... to become... ('a boy' would be the right answer)pupil: A sacrifice. me: ... hahaha... Ya, he did, didn't he? Poor Isaac!God has insecurity issues and poor Isaac... I suppose he would grow up to have plenty of issues, knowing his Dad was ready to burn him on the altar, just to allay God's insecurities. I'm reading bible stories with my pupil! But I still can't attend church with my boyfriend.
