Overheard

In church each week Sophie's class sings a song about a wise man, a foolish man, and houses built on rock and sand.

The teachers must have gone into a deeper explanation last Sunday, because on Friday, Sophie came to me and said: "My teacher says we should build a rock on Jesus Christ."

"Well," I said, "we should build our house upon the rock of Christ."

Then she made a very concerned face--she had obviously been thinking about this for some time--and said, "But if we put a rock on him he will die!"

Symbolism and three-year olds don't mix.
