\"\"<\/a> So today’s my 22nd<\/span> birthday and in light of my birthday, I went to an all-day seminar on Death and Dying<\/em>. <\/span><\/p>\n

The prof of this seminar was a fun-loving storyteller of life experiences. He was such a grandfather figure and his stories about life made the seminar so worth attending. [His Hungarian accent was fun too.]<\/span>While there were many stories of laughter, others just captured the unspeakable value of God-given human life. <\/span><\/p>\n

One such story arose in a quieter moment of the seminar. <\/span><\/p>\n

I want to share it with you, in his own words;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n

‘There was a bunch of Jews and they were taken off to the Holocaust and killed….<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

And the people were coming back and getting more. <\/span><\/p>\n

And there was a boy … <\/span><\/p>\n

and we took him and took a drinking cup of water …. <\/span><\/p>\n

and he was screaming because he didn’t know what we were doing…. <\/span><\/p>\n

But we baptised him. We said the words and all…. <\/span><\/p>\n

And we ran down the road to the priest<\/span> and we told him we baptised him and he gave out a certificate of baptismal right then and there… <\/span><\/p>\n

He signed it right away and handed it to us… <\/span><\/p>\n

And he wasn’t taken off to the Holocaust… <\/span><\/p>\n

All he had to have was proof that he wasn’t a Jew…<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

….. that priest handed out a lot of certificates…..’<\/span><\/p>\n
