If you were a saint...
This is an idea I had last Christmas while visiting my family which was good for a few laughs. (For the humor impaired, this is intended to be lighthearted and in no way meant to denigrate any real saints, living or dead.)If you were a saint (in any hypothetical religion current or yet to be created), what scenes from your life might be depicted someday on stained glass windows?Give it a try!My family and I came up with several, most of which I wrote down. These ranged from the quasi-serious (important moments in our lives) to the purely ridiculous.Here are two of my favorites:St. Ellen proves that Ms. Cook is a moronThe picture would depict a 7th grade girl writing an equation on the chalkboard proving that the evil math teacher was actually a moron.(I was terrible in 7th grade math class, but my teacher really was evil.)St. Ellen vomits after being chosen to sing Morning StarThe picture would depict a 6 year old girl throwing up into a toilet, with stars coming out of her mouth.My sister came up with this one. This requires a bit of background. At the church I grew up in, there is a hymn that is led by a child or a group of children on Christmas Eve. The child sings solo lines and the congregation responds. Back in my day this was a huge deal with an audition committee that sat with their backs turned to avoid knowing the identity of each singer. I was chosen when I was 6, the first year I was eligible. According to family lore, though I do not recall this moment myself, I was so excited when I found out that I immediately went into the church bathroom and threw up.So, any prospective saints out there? ;)
