Dear Michele:

I really enjoyed reading your wonderful post on Ben's interest in the Lord. It reminded me of an account that Jonathan Edwards gave of the conversion of a young girl, who I think was also 4 yrs old, whose family attended his chruch. I don't think four is too young and I searched and searched a disc I have of Edwards works because he discusses why he believed the girls conversion was real, but I just couldn't find it.

The disc I have was made by a person who isn't too reliable and the search feature doesn't work normally and so I always have to play with it to make it work so I was disappionted that I couldn't find it, but it seems that you have gotten some very good advice on how to proceed and I especially liked Pigrims' words on being careful not to foster presumption by using the wrong Catechism.

Anyway, how wonderful that the Lord should work in you son and daughters life this way and I also thought the answers you gave to his questions were very touching.

May He continue to work in him and you,

In Him,

Gerry
