Christmas Eve Shabbat David and I went down to Kinlaw Park today to do some wood-carving. We watched a Nativity Story movie this morning and somewhere along the way it featured Joseph in his woodshop working as a carpenter. David thought this would be a good way to celebrate Christmas Eve-- to work with some wood. He had a stick that he wanted to "skin." So we got into the lockbox, chose a few pocket knives and got to work. After he skinned his sword-like stick he had a vision.
David: Dad, lets carve a cross into the sword.
Dad: That's a great idea!
Dad: (on second thought)-- Well, hmmmm. . . . maybe that wouldn't be such a good idea David.
David: Why not?
Dad: David, do you see how the cross and the sword are different?
David: Yes.
Dad: See, the sword kills people. The cross saves people.
David: But Dad. . . . . . didn't the soldier spear Jesus with a sword when he was on the cross?????
Dad: (. . . . long. . . . stunned. . . . silent. . .. pause. . . .)
Dad: (still recovering) UUUUhhhhhhh. . . . . . . yeeeaaaaahhhh. . . . . . . you're right David.
to be continued. . . . .we're headed to Zaxby's for lunch.
