Great post, Billy. I’m always inspired by your posts about your parenting. I have a four-year-old too and I only pray that he becomes as insightful to the spiritual as your son sounds to be. You’re a great father. Keep ‘remembering’ who’s boss.

I love this, Billy! I just love having these conversations with our kids. What a great insight your son had. Man.. I am SO glad God is still the boss.

I am new to your blog and a fellow Virginian.

First, let me say how much I love your writing. You are so gifted and God has used your words over the past couple weeks to minister to me.

Second, I love this post! I had a similar conversation with my children this morning, and as I carried my youngest into the Ruritan hall full of voters, I took a moment to breathe a prayer for whoever the Lord brings into office in this fine Commonwealth.

I’m so thankful He is the boss!

I like how you avoided cynicism. It can be easy to fall into that trap. Like Jesus said, “oh you of little faith”….people have got to remember that whatever happens, whomever is president…they only hold as much power as God allows. And God works all things for Good to those who love him.
(Besides, 2012 isn’t THAT far off!)

What an awesome example you are to your son.

There is a little something on my blog for you.

You are a confident father, Billy. That’s refreshing, when there’s full of different pointers on the path to parenting.

I love how you weave faith into your parenting … even into the polls. So many stories. I wonder if one of your kids will be a writer, too?

What a great life lesson (for dad, of course). I kinda like the idea those squirmish people have

He is the Boss. Amen and Amen.

You wrote my mind there on that one. My voter place was rather sparse much a drastic difference from the presidential election. Nice also to know a fellow Virginian out there in the blogosphere.
