Yesterday my wife was told that Catrina would not be able to sing "Jesus Loves Me" with her ventriloquist doll for the talent show. She had worked on a whole bit that included this song. I should tell you that originally she basically wanted to get up and simply share the gospel. My wife helped her figure out a little better way to tell people how much Jesus means to her. For the record neither my wife nor I suggested that she do this. We simply helped her prepare knowing that this might happen.
The final word is no in yet, as we have not heard from the principal. Still I am anticipating the phone call sometime today or maybe Monday. Evidently singing "Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so" is offensive. I wonder if the same assertion would be made if it was sung, "Fred loves me so this I know for MySpace tells me so"? I know there are all kinds of assumptions because Jesus is a religious figure. Catrina is not asking them to ask Jesus into their heart or anything like that, she just wants to tell people how important Jesus is to her.
My guess is this will not be a huge issue and this will be settled quickly. I also am pretty sure that she will be allowed to do her bit. Never the less, this is one of those moments where daddy's earn all those hugs and kisses they get from their daughters.
