From an email I just got:
Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin. God lifts you up, takes you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. He opens you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff– including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside you to shine for all the world to see. This was passed on to me from another pumpkin. Now, it is your turn to pass it to a pumpkin.
Sort of like the shepherd analogy, it sort of leaves me cold: Why do shepherds watch their flocks? Because eventually, the owner is going to either fleece them or eat them outright.
