We live in a "waybuloo" world

my kids love a show called "waybuloo" -and what is not to love- it is full of wonder, beauty and God. I grew up with the modern, fun and useful "sesame st" -still going, but now in a post-modern world "Waybuloo" shares the same time slot. The creatures of the "waybuloo" world levitate whilst they pray, are called to practice "yogo" when the chimes start and are surrounded by mountains and trees. Children come to play and get involved in the "yogo" prayer. At solace we are trying to do both "sesame st" and "waybuloo" (let me just pause for a moment and say how sad it is that none of the Christian media makes it to mainstream TV - mostly because it is not accessible enough.) We have a great time of learning from a bible story and then re-enforce that learning through crafts, games and all that. the kids love it. We also call them to pray and to learn some spiritual exercises - currently praying the Lord's prayer in words and movement, finding God's love and enjoyment in their everyday lives (by recalling favourite things from the week) and contemplative prayer (singing aloud the marantha chant rather than silent prayer.) At each stage we explain why we do it, what they might feel, how to use this exercise during the week and more. the kids love it.

my prayer is for my kids, and all our kids, to experience Jesus and the God he revealed through mind, body and spirit: by engaging head, heart and soul.
