All Hail The Power of Jesus Over Hell

When our kids were young, teaching opportunities presented themselves around certain words. “Hell” was one of those words.

Like this example.

Megan and I curled up with a book on each end of the couch. Only five-years-old, Megan already loved books. One-year-old Caleb decided he would spend the afternoon exercising his legs. And have a little fun to boot.

Pulling up at my end, Caleb side-stepped the length of the couch and tapped Megan’s book. He made the trip back to me, tapped my book, then on to the other end.

It quickly became a game. Side-step. Tap book. Repeat.

I smiled at Caleb giving him that Momma-sees-you look. Megan continued to ignore her little brother until one too many book taps met her last nerve. And there wasn’t time to exchange greetings.

“Caleb, what the Hades do you want?!” Except she used the word that means the opposite place of heaven.

“Megan, that’s not nice…not at all. Where did you hear that word?”

Megan responded in a frustrated howl as if to make her Sunday School teacher proud. “The preacher says it all the time.”
