Greg Madison:
When you're born, your spirit slips into your body like a glove. It's your spirit that moves your body and gives you your thoughts and feelings. Look here. [Greg waves his hand] Greg Madison: Here's your spirit and when you're born, your spirit slips into your body like that. [Greg slips his hand into a glove] Greg Madison: And then for your whole life long, your spirit and your body act as one. Now, when the time comes for the spirit to leave this world, when you die, your spirit slips out of your body the same way. [Greg takes the glove off and wiggles his hand] Greg Madison: And even though the body dies, the spirit lives forever. Ben Madison: You mean, my body is like a glove? Greg Madison: Yes. Ben Madison: And my spirit goes to heaven? Claire: That's right, Ben Ben Madison: Am I gonna die, Mom? Claire: Yes, Ben, you are... We all are, but your time may come sooner than ours. See more » |
