Righteous....Methodist....Whatever

Aaron and I were in the car last night and we had the following conversation.

Aaron: So, mom, you know I told you about my new friend Zak (Yes, that is the correct spelling because Aaron told me so and he saw it on Zak's folder. Ha!)

Me: Yes.

Aaron:  We were talking about church today.

Me:  Oh, really?

Aaron: Zak is a Christian.

Me:  What are you?  (I often ask questions like this when the subject comes up to make sure the kids have a firm grasp.)

Aaron:  (In a duh sort of voice).  A Christian.

Me:  What makes you a Christian?

Aaron:  Because I believe that Jesus is God's son and he died for my sins.  I asked him to forgive me and live in my heart....(I did not respond quickly enough for him...I was having my own personal GLORY!! moment)...Mom?  Did you get that?

Me:  Yes.  You are right.

Aaron:  I don't remember what kind of church Zak goes to.

Me:  It doesn't matter.  I'm glad your new friend is a Christian.

Aaron: We go to a Righteous Church, right?  (He meant it as "Righteous" was the name of the denomination.)

Me:  What!?!?!

Aaron:  Our church is a Righteous Church.

Me:  Methodist!!

Aaron:  Oh, ya.  I get mixed up.

Me:  (Under my breath trying to see to drive through the tears forming in my eyes from laughter)  Bwahahahaha!!!

He totally understands what it means to be a Christian. I am so impressed.
