Who Am I?
Years ago, when our daughters were very young, we'd
drop them off at our church's children's chapel on
Sundays before the eleven o'clock service.
One Sunday, just as I was about to open the door to
the small chapel, the minister came rushing up in
full vestments. He said he had an emergency and asked
if I'd speak to the children at their story time. He
said the subject was the Twenty-third Psalm.
But just as I was about to get up from the back row
and talk about the good shepherd, the minister burst
into the room and signaled to me that he would be able
to do the story time after all.
He told the children about sheep, that they weren't
smart and needed lots of guidance, and that a shepherd's
job was to stay close to the sheep, protect them from
wild animals and keep them from wandering off and
dumb things that would get them hurt or killed.
He pointed to the little children in the room and said
that they were the sheep and needed lots of guidance.
Then the minister put his hands out to the side, palms
up in a dramatic gesture, and with raised eyebrows said
to the children, "If you are the sheep then who is the
shepherd?"
He was pretty obviously indicating himself.
A silence of a few seconds followed. Then a young visitor
said, "Jesus, Jesus is the shepherd."
The young minister, obviously caught by surprise, said to
the boy, "Well, then, who am I?"
The little boy frowned thoughtfully and then said with a
shrug, "I guess you must be a sheep dog."

Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting
the government take care of him had better take a closer look
at the American Indian. - Henry Ford

Ghana
Our son David's Grade 1 teacher was a lovely woman from
Ghana. Mrs. Arhin was the kind of magical teacher every-
one would call an angel.
On the way to school one day, I said to David that he was
very lucky to have such a wonderful teacher, rich with
knowledge of another country.
David asked me where Mrs. Arhin was from, and I answered
that she was from a faraway land called Ghana, in Africa.
He asked how far away that was, and I replied that it would
be several hours by plane.
"Mrs. Arhin must really love us," David said, to travel so
long every day just to teach us."
