"Penta" meaning "five" and "teuch" meaning "collection" is the name of the collection of the first five books of the Bible.  This was the topic of discussion this past weekend at EDGE.  In those first five books, are the stories that many of us are familiar with including the sotry of Adam and Eve, Nah's Ark, Moses and more!  But did you know there are actually two stories of Creation in there?  Or those stories span hundreds of years??? They are probably the most familiar stories of the Old Testament and we took some time to show the kids how to find them, how to interpret the stories and how they fall on a time line.  I hope this helped them put those stories in perspective better.

Seen any good movies lately? Are you concerned about what is IN those movies your kids want to see?  There are many good movie review websites, but the one published by the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops (USCCB) has a site that gives you a great description of the movie including acknowledgement of any profanity and inappropraite material.  It's a great way to know, before you go, just what you (and your chidlren) will be seeing.
