Here is 2 year old Knox, handling the first 48 questions of Catechism. Yes, you read that right!

It is a fun video to watch and very heart-warming to know that as a 2 year old, he may not grasp all the concepts and categories he is citing just now, one day he will, and the biblical truths memorized in words will stand him in great stead for the rest of his life. What a blessing this is!

Here is Knox’s big brother Carter (two years ago) at age 7. It took 2 years of ‘diligent practice’ but, as you can see, the result is more than worth the hard work involved.

Perhaps seeing Knox and Carter may encourage your family to continue with your catechism if you’ve started, or begin if you haven’t.
