"What are these things, Mrs. Marshall?
"Well, they are the pieces to six different three dimensional wooden puzzles all mixed up together. I think it would take a real puzzle genius to put them back together again."
"A genius?", my student asked in a wondering tone. "I don't know any geniuses except Brainy Smurff."
"Who's Brainy Smurff?"
"Who's Brainy Smurff? You mean you don't know who Brainy Smurff is?"
Humbled, I shook my head no.
"He's the smartest Smurff there is."
"Oh, so he could put them back together again."
Yup.
Why didn't I think of that?
About Me
- Sandy Marshall
- "No one is master in the Church but all are called, all are sent out, all are reached and guided by divine grace. And this is also our security! Only by listening anew to the word of Jesus who asks, “come, follow me”, only by returning to our original vocation, is it possible to understand our own presence and mission in the Church as authentic disciples." Pope Benedict XVI
