While trying to teach my children the Children’s Catechism, I found my children easily distracted (big surprise!) and at times getting bored due to the repetition. Further, we always had to use a screen to keep track of the questions, which is less than ideal and less than personal. My wife had the idea to create flash cards, but this would be quite the endeavor to do by hand—unless of course you created just one each time your child learned a new question.

While reading The Letters of Samuel Rutherford,1 I came across this quotation. In the meantime, I am pained with his love, because I want real possession. When Christ cometh, he stayeth not long. But certainly the blowing of his breath upon a poor soul is heaven upon earth; and when the wind turneth into the north, and he goeth away, I die, till the wind change into the west, and he visit his prisoner.
