We're in the middle of the annual Vacation Bible School. About 150 kids ranging in ages 4-11 are attending the week. Each day a member of the clergy (or the seminarian) gives an explanation of the day's Scripture passage who then ends the 5 minute lesson with a prayer. Well...Father Ignacio (our fearless new curate) told the assembled and burgeoning bible thumpers that they had to be attentive to Jesus, and that Jesus was especially present in the person next to him or her. Kids being kids, a teacher turned to the person next to her and saw a little man picking his nose. While it's a nice idea to think Jesus is present in all people I thinking there are limits when someone, even a kid, is picking his nose. Don't you think? OK, I am not a parent but ya know....
