Teach Your Children Well

Some of you may be appaulled at this, but we're a pretty political family. That's just how it is. In case you don't understand what Taylor is saying, it's "No How, No Way, No McCain!" This was a memorable quote from Hillary Clinton during the Democratic National Convention. Grandpa Bob said it a few times and Taylor picked it up.

Taylor knows all about the United States of America. He knows the Pledge of Allegiance. One day he asked me what an Obama was, so we taught him about the elections, our beliefs and presidents We also told him why we want Obama to be our next president so that our family and his family have a chance at a better future.

Taylor also knows about prayer. He knows that people came to America and fought so that we have the opportunity to practice religion freely. He knows that this is because of a plan that our Heavenly Father had for us.

I'm very happy to know that my children can know and learn about government at school and home. I also feel very blessed to be here in a time when we can go to any church and believe anything that we want, that we can learn about Heavenly Father and Jesus at church on Sunday and every day at home. He loves reading scriptures and having family home evening.

He also says some of the most beautiful, heart felt prayers that I have ever heard given by any single soul.

So you can see that church and state can come together, if we are willing to help our children learn how the things that we learn at school can work together. We can also teach them the differences. But it is up to us as parents and family members to teach our children our knowledge, our faith and any other thing that will help them and the rest of the country, and the world progress into the future.
