My Elder came for a visit


Elder Francis (pope to many) came to our country for a visit.  My Mother said: "I'll be glad when he leaves!" I said that I was enjoying his time here, and then she looked at me funny and said, "Well its ok."

Not many people in my circle was glad he came. My fellow Christians worried that he was political what with him talking about saving the planet's resources. He must be democrat.

He talked about helping the immigrants and giving to those in need and we worried that he was a communist or socialist.

He talked about abortion and even acknowledged that those who had abortions could be forgiven. The Democrats didn't like that and the Conservative Christians didn't think he had the right or the power.

He gave a speech to Congress and talked about the Golden Rule and reminded all that we all are immigrants.  The Golden Rule doesn't go over well with conservative people who now teach: "Do unto others because they have it coming for being lazy and stupid.

My elder stopped his motorcade many times to touch the sick, lame and small children. 




He touched me.  His words were the words of Jesus.  His view was to fields ripe for harvest.

We are just unruly field hands who want our way!

Lord have mercy on us.
