One of God's Elves

So I was driving Eric to his friend's birthday party today. We passed by a large church, and he asked why we didn't go to that church. We began to discuss how blessed we are in the church we do attend, and what a great pastor we have who teaches us God's Word. Eric thought about this for a minute, and then asked me, "So Pastor Titus must be one of God's Elves then"?

Indeed, if Santa needs Elves just to make toys and map out Santa's sleigh routes, then surely God needs Elves to tell everyone about Jesus and teach people about the bible. I certainly would never equate God with Santa, or a pastor with an elf, but this 4 year old's description of our pastor as a "helper" to God was pretty astute. And pretty funny!
