We found an owl outside this week. So we had lots of fun learning about owls. They painted these pictures for their narration as they listened to me read.

For science we learned about solids and liquids. With liquids we practiced dissolving other liquids. For a biblical demonstration I explained how the food coloring is like their deeds, either good or bad; they cannot be hidden from God. We then demonstrated how oil and water never mix. I read them the scripture about how believers and unbelievers can't be yoked together, they just don't mix! Hopefully scientific and biblical principals were solidified.

We read the biography of Harriet Tubman. I was sad to learn that she left her husband because he wasn't interested in freedom. Ethical dilemma? She helped free hundreds of slaves and did amazing work during the Civil War, but she broke her vow to God and left her husband. What was the right thing to do? 2 passages we read to form our opinions were 1 Corinthians 7:22-23, and 1 Corinthians 7:10. We are fighting for a Biblical Worldview in a day, where God and biblical standards are mocked as archaic, irrelevant, and relative. Fighting for Truth may seem "narrow-minded", but we are fighting to be on the "narrow-path".

Have your read Rapuznel's ethical dilemma?

My family has seen the movie, a lot actually. And we've talked about many of these things. This article actually gave me more food for thought.

Here's a tidbit:

Some might say that since your universe is a fantasy universe, God’s ethical system does not apply. But if His moral standard doesn’t have jurisdiction over this film – if, since this film isn’t a “Christian” film, we shouldn’t require it to line up with the Bible – then who could dare say bumping your mother out of the way would be wrong? Who’s to say any other solution would be morally better? Are we admitting that there is some overarching standard after all?

We’ve got good news for you: You, Rapunzel, imaginary creature though you are, are not ultimately under the lordship of Disney Studios, but of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5 commands all men to “take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ” – which means every imagination, every script page, and every film frame. Christ demands that every man’s mind and the stuff in it bow the knee, and that would include you. And His moral system – His law – is still the standard by which your moral system must be measured.
