I find the ideas of the trinity confusing too, and not scripturally founded. They are man made and not true. Was Jeffrey Holland president of BYU when you started there? Here is a link to a great talk he gave, using the Bible, to show how Jesus Christ and God, the Father, are separate and distinct persons and the trinitarian notions to the contrary are false. http://lds.org/conference/t...

Even if one does not choose to subscribe to it 'religiously' :-), The Book of Mormon does answer many many theological questions in a satisfying way...

What darling little girls! Those same questions that are overwhelming your five year old have been overwhelming people for many millenia. They are both very deep thinkers aren't they.

The goodness of Zoe and Lizzie's parents predispose them to faith (belief in things that are true) in loving heavenly parents. While we mortals make mistakes and have inconsistencies that flaw our lives, viewing people at their best, most giving, most loving (I've been told) is not that far away from viewing God. Offspring resemble parents in many ways. Being held in the arms of Their love means everything to me.

29/05: Words to remember -
Yesterday we fed a meal to a family at the inter-faith shelter. The meal itself was in a large gymnasium like room at the Methodist church that we had only been in before for rummage sales. Like many churches, banners with religious slogans hung on the walls with the tens commandments, and a whole host of Sunday school projects, all of which the girls stared at with wide, inquisitive eyes. The banners brought out many statements and questions from both the girls - the most memorable from Zoe being "this must be one of those religions that believes in God." The girls found a new modern english version of the bible, which intrigued them, and they acted out the story of Adam and Eve among the swing sets and tire swings (Zoe was the voice of God).The church brought out many questions in the girls: many of which I had a hard time answering. The Trinity for instance. Zoe asked "how can god be both the father and the son?" and "What arethe stations of the cross?"
True to her nature, Lizzie remained quiet, soaking everything all in until we were half way home and she broke the silence of the car as we passed the Dairy Shoppe and the light was fading. Her little voice stated plainly from the back seat "sometimes I wonder about heaven, and death, and what will happen when I die.... and it's kind of overwhelming."
