A few weeks ago at the end of the sermon, the kids came into the sanctuary to join the congregation, and our priest asked them, "What did you study today?" One of them piped up that they'd talked about Nehemiah.
The priest looked out at us and asked with a smile, "How many of you know how to spell Nehemiah?" I rose my hand, but was too far forward to see any others. Apparently there were only two or three of us. She grinned a bit more, and said, "I only see a couple of you. And everyone who raised their hands was raised in the Baptist tradition!"
Heh. G'wan Southern Baptists. We may not have been famed for certain forms of educational reinforcement, but boy can we spell some Biblical names, yo.
