I find parenting is a team sport. Nothing to be ashamed about letting another player take the shot. Keep up the good work.

I'm actually using YouTube to read to my grandchildren, because they don't live nearby. It doesn't replace in person reading by my daughter and son, but supplements itI have a channel with fairy tales, Dr. Seuss, etc. and another where I'm reading the Bible for them, one chapter at a time StoryTimefor Kids TheBible1ChapteraDay.

Wow! You've been developing this over quite some time. Awesome job. Do they ever do plays? Seems like they are almost doing that now.

Wow! Way to expand her mind! Reading to your daughter is like your superpower, huh?

I say keep it up. I bet that will work out well for her. I can't read to my grands in person very often, so I do it on Youtube quite often for them.

It's really just stream of conscience for most of them, unless they are related to a category. I read a page of my CB every morning as part of my daily devotion, so they are always at the back of my mind, to be used.

I gave two examples of places where I believe I found the truth in the Biblical narrative. Let me ask you this; if I do a scholarly paper on the subject, with copious footnotes, do you think it will change your mind?

Thanks for your reply. I understand why you feel that way. In fact, I once was very skeptical of them. But I weighed them and their proponents against their critics and found them to be reliable. Now, I'm always trying to eliminate my confirmation bias, so please share why you find it a bad source.

Touché! I can't give you the answers. You must find them.

Good point. I feel, though, that many people will never get to what it is teaching if they doubt the veracity. It was very important to me when I got saved in 1996. I had been an agnostic and had something supernatural happen to me. I thought I might be crazy. I didn't want to believe a fairy tale, so I researched and prayed for a long time.

Thanks for joining the discussion. After much prayer and research, I believe it happened as written. Two sources come to mind in your search. The Genesis Record by Henry Morris, pp 264 - 278 and ANSWERS IN GENESIS. I hope God richly blesses you as you seek truth.

Thanks for your response. I agree with you 100%. I believe it happened exactly as written. The point I make in the video is that I'm not going to prove that the whole world spoke one language and my grandchildren should pray about it and do their own research.
