Fish and nuggets A
fter worship a young parishioner showed me her “Jesus Book,” which contained stories and pictures of Jesus’ life. We got to the story of the loaves and fishes, and I
said, “Look, the little boy has a couple of fishes in his basket.” She replied, “And he has chicken nuggets too!” Jennie Lawrence Laramie, Wyo.
When history collides This is what happens when Lent and Black History Month are at the same time. During children’s Bible study I asked our pastor’s son, Adam, 5, to explain his picture. “This is when Jesus ran into the desert,” he said. When I asked what Jesus was doing there, he replied, “He went to Egypt because the king was going to kill him, and when he got to Egypt there were too many Hebrew slaves. So that is when Jesus started the Underground Railroad.” Amy Santoriello Penn Hills, Pa.
Wide & wild One of our Lenten bulletins had a misprint that’s wildly true: Hymn of the Day: “There’s a Wildness in God’s Mercy,” Evan- gelical Lutheran Worship, 588. Richard Hermstad Tacoma, Wash.
