This weeks theme is "Picture This," and I was going to write the story of my Valentine's Day this year - a funny story on so many levels, but I'm tired and the entry needs to be in soon.
Instead Picture This :
A missionary who's main responsibility is working with youth. His job is to be a positive role model and example to the high school students he works with. He is given a higher calling to be above reproach. He knows that many of the young people he interacts with will follow his example, repeat his words, and do as he does.
Now picture said youth worker helping lead a group of students to one of the most influential cities in history. A city where emperors rule the land, where civilization spread from and people flocked to. A city which still contains the headquarters for one of the largest religious groups in the world. Can you picture yourself in Rome standing in the Piazza di San Pietro looking up at the Vatican?
Now picture a little old nun. Picture the durational habit, the black, the white, the beads. Can you picture the spirit of a lady who has followed the calling of her God and church?
Let's picture a couple cans of beer. Not an import, but an fine Italian beer. Can you picture a couple cold cans of Forst beer on a nice autumn day?
Finally, can you picture them all together? If not, scroll down a little......
I must say the can was empty when I got it. It was only a prop.
No beer was consumed by the younger one of the two in this picture.
Here is one more photo for your enjoyment.
Who said nuns can't have a little fun?
