"Now you know that the Egyptians think that they would go to this after life and in the stars. Well it happened before to a king. And his pyramid has many solid buildings under it and his spirit went through them with magic!
Well the Sphinx you know that statue with the human head and lion body. Well a prince in Egypt had a dream and the sphinx appeared in his dream and said that if he cleans the sand off his back that the sphinx would make him become king. And he did. The tombs had lots of jewelry and of course that made grave robbers want to come and get it and the tombs were guarded over centuries and any body tried to steal some thing the guards would get them
away but that won't keep them away.
Little servant figures were put in the tombs to take care of them in the next life. The organs were put in little
containers called canopic jars. Well except for the heart because the Egyptians believed that your heart is what makes you have your feelings hurt. A god was a guardian of
the dead. To get into the next life their hearts had to be balanced on a scale. Then that means you have a good life.
If its not your heart will be thrown in a monster called the devourer of the dead. And the book of the dead is a scene with one of the gods is weighing your heart. But it's not true. I just like the picture of it."Now i know you know that what the Egyptians think is wrong. But the most saddest thing of all is they think that there are gods and godesses. But I know that there is only one true God.

Very interesting report, Logan! What's so sad to me is that Satan deceived the Egyptians so badly. For being such smart people in other way, they were so wrong about their many gods. You are so right, there is only one true God and we should have no other god before Him.
Can't wait to see you on Saturday. We'll have some fun, I'm sure.
Love you!

How did I give birth to such a cool Son?
Thanks for teaching us about Ancient Eqypt this week. I'm glad you know what is good and bad, and I'm proud of you for learning and researching all of this stuff!
Keep it up my favorite Son!
Logan, I really enjoyed reading your blog about Egypt! You sure have done a lot of research! Thank you for telling me about your studies of ancient Egypt at church Sunday night, I enjoyed our talk very much. Have a great week and I'll see you in Children's Church Sunday morning.

Hey Logan,
You have such a great heart! You are right, it is sad they do not know the one, true Living God. Keep up the good work on your great blog.
