We got a simular "story" and our pastor had a lamb's shank bone on his demonstration plate with cool Herbrew all over it.<G> One thing I didn't add was that the famious portrait of the last supper was fictional.. Jesus was a poor man in a poor country... they sat on the ground, reclined with the left hand as a brace and dipped food from one bowl...with the right hand. *We got to sit in chairs<G> Pastor showed us how it was done and how they could wisper stuff to each other, and how Jesus could "Honor" Judas with the last swipe of pita bread<G> I sort of thought it would be cool to have a Ranger campout meal that way<G> > He also gave a little bit of post > crucifixion history.

Me too... Someone recently preached on the "Poverty of Jesus"... that he had nothing but his rags and was hungry and thirsty... I'd never thought of that, poverty meaning hunger.. wealth meaning drink and food offered with a blessing. Lately- I'm revisiting some suttle principals of Christian ethics... The slow minded man "Marvin" came in to talk to me about heaven this morning and we had a chat... *I asked him if a smart man could go to heaven... He replied quickly: "Sure..
