Here is a picture of my freind Louise hugging a baby. Now, don't be confused: Louise isn't God. I know that. She knows that and I'm guessing none of her friends hold Louise to be a deity. But Louise IS a vicar and she posted this photo challenging us to share one photo to show... Continue Reading →

A small boy forgot his lines in the Sunday School music and drama presentation. His mother, sitting in the front row tried to prompt him, gesturing and forming the words silently with her lips, but it didn't help. Her son's memory was blank.
