Crossword In the pastor’s family


ach child in my friend’s Sunday school class was asked to bring a Bible, but a 5-year-old showed up three Sundays without one and told my friend they didn’t have any. She


is the pastor’s daughter. The following Sunday she brought one, but told the teacher, “I’ve got it. But I’m not sure it has the right stories.” Carol D. F. Goad Roanoke, Va.


Our daughter Ashleigh, 3, was vigorously flipping through the pages of her Bible as she walked up the stairs to bed one Saturday night. “Yep. … Yep, it says right here. Nationwide is on your side.” Pastor’s kids say strange things. Matt Titus Mason, Mich.


Our choir director was unable to find a trumpet player to accompany a piece so she asked her husband, the pastor, to accompany us. He hadn’t practiced the music and it showed. After choir practice, I commended him for playing the “trum- pet involuntary.” Jerry Kiel Madison, Ohio
