Observation

My grandaughter Breya, age 2 1/2, came into the family room carrying a picture of Jesus nailed to the cross. His face is turned upward, blood from the crown of thorns coursing down his cheek, his right hand impaled by a nail, one of three holding him to the cross.

Breya sidles up to me stating in a somber but matter-of-fact voice, "He's broken. We need to fix him."

Touched by her compassion, I inquire, "Who does sweetheart?"

"Everyone."

"Everyone needs to fix him?"

"Mm hmm." (meaning yes)

"He's better now," I responded.

"No he's not. Everyone needs to fix him."
