I have never met this young woman ... but I have heard enough stories about her to know that she is a bright, intelligent, witty, outrageously funny, outgoing, and incredibly caring young woman who has inherited much from both her father and her mother ... If you are even an occasional reader of At The Half Note, you will know some of the adventures that Ms Annie K has lead her parents on ...This week her mom posted a piece on the blog that caused me to howl with laughter ... I have to say I'm with Annie on this one though, ... she's right in her query of - "what kind of a parent gives their kid a Bible??"
But Annie and I would differ in the why ...
I personally think we should be careful with how and where we pass out Bibles ... it's dangerous and subversive stuff ... it shouldn't be dropped in the hands of children ... they might get crazy ideas about love, respect, caring for each other and creation ... they may even begin to believe that they can do something like change the world ...
We should put that book under lock and key and keep it away from the tender eyes, ears, souls and hearts of our children ... it's TOO DANGEROUS to let just anyone read ... sheesh, people have died because of taking that book too seriously ... it really should have a warning label !!
For now though - thanks to Annie for being Annie, and thanks to Katie for sharing these moments from Annie with the rest of us !!! You both rock !!!
