Picture of the Month

Here is the picture from Josh's story!

A crazy guy with fish in his hands.

One night after a party, we were all hanging around in front of the church building. A man, that has been know to walk through the streets of Hildesheim shouting random comments at anyone, approached us. His attire was casual at best, leaning towards scandalous. His shorts took the meaning to an extreme. As he came closer to us the contents of his hands became visible. He held a dead fish in each hand. As he walked he seemed to have no particular destination, he was just walking, with dead fish, and that is what his only intentions were. We made eye contact. His destination became certain. He would not look away from me, as I could not look away either. Ready for his predictable remarks he is known for, I waited. "Hey! I saw you on the Television, You killed 7 people !" he shouted in his native tounge, German. I did not understand a word he said, responding as if I had a clue by nodding my head and smiling. After I agreed with his rediculous accusations, he transferred one fish to the other hand extending his invitation to shake mine. A man that murdered 7 people. I codially returned the courtesy and shook the fish ridden hand of this man. The experience was transcendent. I wonder what Jesus would have done.

Luckily ,one of our own, Benjamin Bratcher was there to document this occurance with a photograph seen above. If you look carefully you can see the fish in his left hand and with his right hand, the handshake.
