My family reads the daily lectionary and at least a chapter from the Bible every morning, as well as a few paragraphs of the Catechism. As they grow up, I can’t make them believe, but I can make sure they understand what I believe is true, and why.

I was trying to study my Spanish lectionary this evening, but my 2-year-old insisted on sitting (slumping, squirming, wriggling, kicking) on my lap while she watched the Curious George Christmas movie.

Very wise! Especially when they're in their teens and will tend to be rebellious. I got like that, and for once in my life, my parents didn't interfere. It hurt them, but they had the wisdom to continue to practice their Faith and allow me to explore other options. When I realized that what I'd been taught was the Truth, I returned and never looked back!

God bless you and your family!

the Curious George Christmas movie

Used to love watching Curious George with my niece, who has now outgrown it, so I haven't seen it in years. The way the animation was rendered was nice, sort of a human touch that's missing in practically everything else of recent vintage, too much reliance on CGI flashiness. The music, too, was nice. Started listening to Jack Johnson because of it. Is he still doing some of the soundtrack?
