We&#8217;ve picked up on something that my sister does with her kids each morning.  They sit down as a family for &#8216;Bible time&#8217; where they just read a passage of scripture to their kids.  They sit around the kitchen table and the kids (3, 6, 8 &#038; 10 in her case) color while she or her husband read.<br \/>\nSo on Monday Maria and the kids started to practice their morning routine so come this Tuesday there won&#8217;t be a panic trying to get ready for school.  They sat down at the table and started reading Genesis 1-3, the creation story.  The images at right are the ones they drew that day, starting with Jessica&#8217;s (9 1\/2 years) at the top, Emily&#8217;s (7 years) next and Audrey&#8217;s (5 1\/2 years) at the bottom.   These pictures just blew me away, Jessica&#8217;s detail into each day, Emily&#8217;s abstract &#8216;Day, night and water&#8217; and Audrey&#8217;s Earth.  At first I didn&#8217;t think she was actually drawing the Earth, so I asked her what it was.  Her simple answer was &#8220;The world.&#8221;  Wow.
