LG: Mama, where's Heaven?

M (thinking I don't want to answer, "in the sky"): Well, it's where we go if Jesus lives in our heart.

M: I don't think it's on a planet...it's its own place. (Ok, this is getting tough)

LG: Oh, but, how does Jesus fit in our heart?

LG: Yeh, I'm gonna nickname her "Emma."

M (thinking, "ok, I think the Trinity 'lost' LG"): Ok, I like that name :)
