Sometimes I got kind of sad and sometimes even angry. Sometimes, I was absolutely mystified. What I would suggest is that we use those three frames and look at this Hannah story to see if we can make some sense out of it. I'm guessing that it doesn't surprise you who have heard me preach before to know that I have a lot of fun in understanding that the gospel and this story have some comic elements. I do remember an event that happened on Thanksgiving at our house about ten years ago.
Most students leave town for the holidays but international students are more prone to stay in town.
On this particular day, we had four international students who came to eat in our home for Thanksgiving dinner. The one I knew best was named Kofi. He was from the Ivory Coast. He also brought with him a friend named Eric who was from Madagascar. We had an Indonesian student and a Singaporian student who ate dinner with us that day.
