A little boy was taken on a trip with his parents touring Europe.
After the vacation trip, his Sunday School teacher happened to ask the class if anyone knew what a Saint was. The little lad, remembering all the great cathedrals and their dazzling stain glass windows of apostles and disciples raised his hand and said he knew.
"A saint is someone GOD's light shines through."

I thought sunlight shined through stained glass.

Sounds a little pagan-y to me. I guess... the kid thinks that worshipping the Judeo-Christian God is no more or less valid than worshipping the gods of other cultures? I dunno.

A pretty metaphor, but what's the point? Not that I'm cynical, I'm just curious why you posted it.
