Last Friday Abby had to wear her pyjamas to school as part of a promotion for reading books at bedtime. The teachers wore their pyjamas too, and I wore mine! Embarrassingly I was the only parent in pyjamas that day, but it gave everyone a laugh and fortunately there are no photos.

Every child also had to bring in their favourite bedtime story book. Abby chose her bible, and when we got to school she asked me to read her the stories of Jesus' death and resurrection. How refreshing for there to be no sense of whether it was politically correct or worrying what other people might think.

It made me think.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9 (NIV)
