Jacob: We started learning about space last week and it doesn't say anything in the textbook about who (I love that he actually put emphasis on this word) created the sun, moon, stars and space. It just bothers me that is doesn't say anything about God.
Me: And that's because that's creationism and most textbooks won't cover that. Remember how we've talked about separation of church and state before?
Jacob: Too bad the bible can't be a textbook. Next week I'm going to raise my hand and say in front of the class that the reason we have all of those things in space is because God created them. And I don't care if I get in trouble.
Me: You wouldn't get in trouble. That's your belief.
Jacob: Well I still don't care if I got in trouble.
Right on, my boy! Right on!
Jacob is such a conscientious student and from kindergarten up to this point in third grade, he has never
had his folder signed. I say this only to show what a teacher pleaser he is. I am so proud of him, though, that he recognizes that sometimes you have to say or do things, when your beliefs are on the line. I hope that he keeps this quality throughout his life!
"Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong." 1 Corinthians 16: 13
