Unclear on the Concept

Today we served as prayer ministers at church during communion.  It is a special time where folks who need prayer come forward after receiving communion and share their needs and requests with the prayer ministers and then the prayer ministers pray for them.   There we stood, waiting to pray for whoever came forward.  You can imagine how touched we were when #4 stepped forward.  What a great moment this would be – praying for our son.  As he stepped forward, I was trying to imagine what request he had on his heart – would this be a confession, a request for strength for the week, or would it be a new issue that he needed help with?  We put our hands on his shoulders and he put his hands on ours.  He looked down, cleared his throat and then looked up at us and said “Can I have people over for lunch?”

Overheard…

Last night, my husband was quizzing the girls on their Bible knowledge (which they asked him to do, for the record). Here are some highlights:

1. Who was Jesus’ mother?

Moses

2. What was Abraham’s son’s name?

Lincoln

3. Who was the guy who led the people out of Egypt?

Massachusetts

4. Who was Jesus’ cousin?

Pete

Pierre

5. Was Paul a Christian or a Jew?

Well, he left the Jew when he became a Christian

This morning, #6 took Communion for the first time. On the way home from church, I asked her what she thought of it. She said, “It was great! I felt like a woman!”

#4 (the walking party) is outside on the trampoline with a half dozen of his friends. Someone just said, “I didn’t know fish had nipples.”
