Where does the Sun Go?

November 20

It is nearing twilight and a small voice from the back seat asks, “Where does the sun go? I reply, “I’ll show you when we get home.”

I bring a flashlight (sun) and grab an orange (earth) and there in the dining room I explain the cosmos to a four-year-old daughter.
A week later driving home as the sun sets I hear, “There goes the sun behind the orange.” I should have told her where the sun comes from not where it goes.

“Then God said, “Let there be light;” and there was light. And God saw the light that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. (Genesis 1:3-4)
