I really like how You teach Lucas to be open minded about other beliefs, something we christians usually not are at all. We might say we are, but never really mean it.<br /><br />We christians often forgets the respect for the enviroment. Many seemes to believe that since God made us we can do as we please. So wrong!!<br /><br /><br />We sweeds never really left our pagan traditons when christianity came. You´ve seen our midsummers pole :-) But even during Yule we have them. Our santa is for instance a gnome :-)and before that we had the christmas goat and he was the devil forced to do good things on christmas eve :-) :-)<br /><br /><br />In my church we believe that one shouldn´t get baptised until one is old enough to understand what it means, so I think it is a good thing that You never baptised Lucas when he was a baby.<br /><br />Have a great day now!<br />Christer.The cottage by the Cranelakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521318192039394408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002043022819051569.post-39430892607877147622008-06-30T17:27:00.000-03:002008-06-30T17:27:00.000-03:00It's nice to read about the childhood Lucas has. ...It's nice to read about the childhood Lucas has.

He's very lucky to have such a wonderful family that is raising him to be spiritual as well as rational and to be open minded to other things as well. That's something not every child gets to experience.<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for sharing this with us!KrisMrsBBradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14988742743150495260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002043022819051569.post-54276481721094477712008-06-27T15:01:00.000-03:002008-06-27T15:01:00.000-03:00Every relationship has it's trying times and I'm g...Every relationship has it's trying times and I'm glad you both pull together and get through them. <BR/><BR/>Lucas seems like such a smart little boy. There seems to be wisdom beyond his years in that cute little head of his. <BR/><BR/>You're right to not let your mom impose Catholisicm on Lucas. When I was growing up, we went from Presbyterian to Baptist (I mean your holy-roller Southern-style Baptists.. whew.) to Methodist to no denomination. That's all just within Christianity and I was so confused. I couldn't remember what each place was trying to teach but they were different. I think I mentioned to you before about finding a "Wishing Well spell" on a Pagan site before. I really believed in that and it worked for the small thing that I was really asking for.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08324266284464976470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002043022819051569.post-73924940770699223862008-06-27T04:41:00.000-03:002008-06-27T04:41:00.000-03:00What a delight that you shared all this, I felt yo...What a delight that you shared all this, I felt you were sitting with me telling me personally.<BR/>Lucas is blessed that he is able to enjoy the best of two worlds & with you to guide him will find his own path.<BR/><BR/>Love<BR/>BlueKyanitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07806370744179471580noreply@blogger.com
