    Two Rabbis disputing the question maintained: one, that it was not fit to come within a hundred cubits of a leper; the other, within four cubits, when he stood between them and the wind.

    When I was a boy some adults were joking about the answer to a question.

    WITHOUT JESUS--WHAT A MESS I still remember the suppertime. We were having spaghetti – and what’s spaghetti without adding Parmesan Cheese.

    We can give to God only what he first gave us.
