Number 1

So tonight we were reading scriptures together and studying about Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. It talks about how the people throw their clothes down on the ground for Jesus' donkey to walk on and how they waved palm leaves.

Tara stopped the reading to inform us that they had to wave palm leaves because "they didn't have those foam hands with the finger sticking up back in the old days."

How irreverant is the idea of holding up foam fingers for the Savior's entry?

Oh man...I can't stop laughing. At least the foam hands are less irreverant than a tailgate party, body painting, or something similar...
I'll never look at a foam finger the same. I guess we traded laughs this time.

I'm sure there are some sports fans out there who consider the foam finger a symbol of reverence in it's own right...Very cute story, thanks for the morning laugh!

I don't think it's irreverant at all. If Jesus isn't #1, I'm not sure who is!
