New kind of music

So usually I listen to radio and I always have it on 96FM. Well, Jeremiah has been singing a lot of the songs.  Not a good thing.  He sings some of the lyrics and I am glad he does not know what they mean.  So I decided it is time to start listening to something more kid appropriate. I remembered I bought this little CD set of Bible stories and songs when Jeremiah was really young.  So I decided to get that out.  I put in the CD and the boys loved it.  They were cracking me up because they were marching around the house to "Father Abraham"  I felt so much better because they looked like the two little innocent boys they are and they weren't singing the other music (about strippers and drugs)  I am also going to start playing the disc set of the Bible stories too so it they can start learning about the Bible. And it is great because these stories are more on a kid level and they have songs and stuff to make the children more interested. They have stories from the Old Testament as well as the New Testament. Everything from Creation to Jesus ascending into heaven. The CD set I am using is called Bible Songs & Stories for Children. In addition to starting the kids on this set I have also started reading the Bible.  I have never read the whole Bible before. I went to a Catholic school from 1st grade all the way until my Senior year of high school, me and my family would go to church every single Sunday and my mom even put us in summer Bible school classes when we were younger.  So I know a lot about our religion but I think I will feel more confident in raising our children to be good Catholics and to teach them about our religion if I read the Bible.  I am starting by reading Mark, then Matthew, John, Luke and Galatians then I am going to read the rest of the New Testament.  This was advice from the internet on the order I should read it in.  And I try to read two chapters a night.  I am trying to go slow so I don't become overwhelmed and I want to understand everything I am reading too.
Here are pictures of the CD set I was talking about.
