Is God in Hell

Somehow we got on the topic of hell and what it is.  I can't remember all the parts of the conversation but here are the juicy bits...

Me: I love you Monster.  You're my favorite Sawyer.
Sawyer: I love you too.
Me: Hey, do you know who is the only person who loves you more than I love you?
Sawyer: [Knowingly] God.
Me: That's right.
...
...
Sawyer: Is God in hell?
Me: No.
Sawyer: No?!  But why not?
Me: Because hell is the opposite of God.  Hell must be an awful place... to be without God for eternity...!
Sawyer: What's eternity?
Me: Forever.  And ever.  And ever.
Sawyer: But how can I stay alive?
Me: On earth?
Sawyer: No, how can I stay alive with God?
Me: Well, you have to accept his son, Jesus Christ, into your heart.  You have to believe that he died on a cross for all the wrong things you've done and will do... sin.  Once you've accepted Jesus God sends the Holy Spirit to live in your heart and fill you with the power to love those you wouldn't be able to otherwise. [he starts smirking]  That's all you have to do.
Sawyer: I don't have to believe... I already believe. [and he happily walks away]

I simply love 5 year old theology.  Why do us adults make things so complicated?  Kids are vastly more in tune with the things and ways of God.  I work to be like my Sawyer these days.

Thank you, God, for the opportunity to be Sawyer's Mommy.  No greater joy has there been in my life.  You speak to me through him daily and I am working to listen harder and pay closer attention.  He makes me laugh and brings tears of joy to my eyes.  He makes me so proud and I truly feel that you broke the mold with my first born.  I cannot wait to see what You do with my second.  Lord help us to guide him in the way he should go and let us not ever minimize the impact you have already had on this world because of him.  I love him so much and I know that you love him infinitely more.  Thank you for Sawyer.  Amen.

Sawyer, Mommy loves you heart!  I love the person you are and the joy that you've been to me these 5 1/2 years.  You make Mommy's heart smile and I am so proud to have you as my son!
