All Saints Day


I remember learning the word “saint” from my Sunday school teacher, Mrs. Rocky.
Mrs. Rocky taught Sunday school for the younger elementary kids
at Park Forest Baptist Church in State College, Pennsylvania.
She loved Jesus and she loved children.
And I remember the day she taught us the word, “saint.”
She asked us what the word meant, and we were first and second graders,
So we said: “a football team!”
And to our surprise, she said, “my book here says that you would say that!”
And we were amazed that her book could predict we would give that answer.
