I agree, if a book can shake your faith, well, it can't have been too strong to begin with!

I must be a bad mother because I also let them read Harry Potter and all of the Mists of Avalon which are filled with witches and magic. I have not read Pullman but will cave in soon.

We were almost inside when another person came out of the building telling us that the power was out. We did not swim today. We had all of the good intentions but the lights and the water purifying machines are requisite for indoor swimming.
