The other day I said my kids were starting to express their faith a little...
Yesterday Nicholas had a friend over from school and he stayed for dinner. part way through the meal Nicolas got his bible and gave it to me, asking me to read a story for his friend, as he "doesn't believe in God". So I figured David and Goliath would be a nice boy kills giant story that would appeal to a 7 year old. The Jesus Storybook Bible tells it really well for that reason...
When I finished Nicholas said "now do you believe in God?" "No" was the reply. But he liked the story! Nicholas then asked me if we could ask the kids mum if she believed in God when she came to collect her son... I love his faith.
I am LOVING this Sarah McLachlan/Cyndi Lauper duet. Sarah McLachlan has long been my favourite female artist. I have great memories of my first year at uni - studying my dream field of anthropology, archaeology and museum curatorship. I'd listen to her all the time.
Later she came to Canberra on tour and Dave and I went with another friend. I was heavily pregnant with Nicholas and I am sure he was dancing. He rolled and kicked inside me like never before. Cyndi Lauper? Well, with a 25 year school reunion coming up revisiting some of my 80's music is a prerequisite! Girls Just Wanna Have Fun anyone? :)
And while we are onto the '80's these are brilliant! I can see a kitsch little corner of our hallway with these framed on it...
Breakfast Club, Princess Bride and Labyrinth... there is also Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Pretty in Pink!
Not to mention various Star Wars and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle ones Nicholas would like... enough of that though. I have to get on top of other UFOs before I start anymore.
