Questions about God

My favorite time of day with the girls is bedtime...and, no, it's not because they are about to drift off to dreamland.  I love talking to them at night when there aren't any other distractions and I can hear what is on their little minds.  They ask some of the funniest and toughest questions when they are all tucked into bed at night.  These two questions popped up in the last few days.

Question One

Charlotte: If God lives in your heart and you are healthy and eat healthy food and your heart is beating really strong...(pause)...is he okay in there?

Me: (pause) Uh...

Charlotte: Yeah, I think he is okay in there.

Me: Yeah, I think so too.

Question Two

Me (reading Charlotte's pick of the night, Cinderella)

Emma (interrupting): I know this has nothing to do with what we are reading, but does God have a wife?  I mean some people say he does, but does he?

Me: I have no idea. It doesn't say anything in the Bible about God having a wife.

Emma: Well, some people have Bibles with crazy handwriting and it says he has a wife and funny hair.

Me: Okay, well, I don't know.
