It is more important than ever that we teach our children to recognize that people they do not agree with are not inherently enemies.

I've been thinking about Eric Metaxas' book "Bonhoeffer, ..." It would be a hard read for many, but I think it will lend itself well to reading aloud for a group. It traces Bonhoeffer's life from his childhood until he is shot by the Nazi's. In addition to the history of Germany, Europe, Britain and the US from pre-WW2 through the end of war, it gives a great deal of insight into how people can be gradually indoctrinated into accepting things that they would initially reject.
It is written from letters and diaries, sharing stories of summers in the forest, family dinner table discussions, and church life before WW2. If you try this, leave lots of time for discussion as there is a wealth of info between these covers.

Remember, God knows.
People think I'm being glib or trite when I say this, but I'm not. Its just that I'm watching life and I think some people might have forgotten.

How true this is. Never let your history undermine you, especially as a parent.

The past is just that - let it go to embrace the future! ~

This can't be good. If it's warm outside, have a good time outdoors today. If it's snow outside .. Practice tracking in the snow?
