Heehee, I'm hooked now. I'd better be careful or I'll run out of stuff to blog about after one day!

I added another link, to the "Truth & Grace Memory Books" series. I'm sorry to say that I get a form of stage fright when it comes to talking to my daughter about God. What do I say? How do I get on her level?

Using these books, the first one anyway, is helping. I've simply memorized the material in the "ages 2 & 3" section. Whenever I think of it, I say it to her. Basic verses of the faith: Genesis 1:1, John 3:16, Matthew 22:37, 39, John 1:1, Luke 19:10, Ephesians 6:1 (that's a big one at this age!). The first five questions of the Children's Catechism (Baptist version). Singing "Jesus Loves Me" and the Doxology.

C. is beginning to respond to the songs. She starts bouncing her hands "choir director" style. Maybe I'm imagining things, but it seems as though she's starting to show signs of interest when I say the verses and catechism questions, too. I'm having to break out of my comfort zone and add a little extra inflection to my voice.

I look forward to the day when I ask her "Who made you?" and she answers "God made me!" with joy.
