God and Green Jesus
Is it just my siblings that are prone to thinking that priests are God? A few minutes ago I was showing Audrey, Dominic and Lili We are 8, and Lili pointed to the photo of Tommy, Fr. Tim, Fr. Dan and Jason and goes "Hey, look! It's God!" which brings us to the question; Why do little kids think that priests are God? When Audrey was three Fr. Behrend was the parochial vicar at our church, and every week she would ask the same question "is Green Jesus going to be at church today?", for a while no one really knew who this 'Green Jesus' was, and then Audrey pointed him out; Fr. Behrend in his green vestments, and since then Green Jesus has been a part of her life. It has been a few years since then (FIVE!) and Fr. Behrend has been gone from our church for four, but every once and a while you still hear something about Green Jesus, Audrey still has the photo of the two of them above her bed, and every Christmas we send him a card and he does the same for us. It just goes to show that you can find God in everyone, and Audrey found God in a very nice priest wearing green vestments.
