Light side Delicious child of God I
received an inspirational email from William A. Hartfelder, pastor of Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church, Westerville, Ohio, which he’d apparently sent on his smartphone: “…
never forget you ate a baptized child of God! After that every- thing else is gravy!” He apparently cringed over the result of small keys and large fingers, as well as the curse of autocor- rect. Either way, I got the “meat and potatoes and gravy” mes- sage of what it means to be a child of God. Patti Barb Westerville, Ohio
Oops … sorry, Mom As soon as the opening music began during the vacation Bible school program, a preschooler burst into tears. Trying to be helpful, I raced over to pick her up and take her to her mother. Another woman also hurried over, but I assured her that the situation was under control. The woman kept following me so I nicely told her again, “You can return to your seat. I’ll find this little girl’s mother.” Her reply: “But … I’m her mother.” Carolyn Bolz Riverside, Calif.
Before Siri Dorothy was telling about being on a trip with her husband, Paul, and they got lost on a remote side road. She said they traveled for miles and didn’t see anyone to ask directions. Paul joked, “Maybe the rapture has come.” She replied, “I sure hope not because I’m still here.” Irene Lynn Smithfield, Pa.
