I Am My Own Grandpa
by Moe Jaffe and Dwight Latham
Many, many years ago when I was twenty-three,
I got married to a widow who was a pretty as could be.
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red.
My father fell in love with her, and soon the two were wed.
This made my dad my son-in-law and change my very life.
My daughter was my mother, for she was my father’s wife.
To complicate the matters worse, although it brought me joy,
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy.
My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad.
And so became by uncle, though it made me very sad.
For if he was my uncle, then that also made him brother
To the widow’s grown up daughter who, of course, was my step-mother
Father’s wife then had a son, who kept them on the run.
And he became my grandson, for he was my daughter’s son.
My wife is now my mother’s mother and it makes me blue,
Because, although she is my wife, she’s my grandma too.
If my wife is my grandmother, then I am her grandchild
And every time I think of it, it simply drives me wild.
For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw,
As the husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa!
What are the categories for the resolutionsandhow many do you want? Also, how are we to use root words for pattern sentences? Are they supposed to be the nouns and verbs…can they all be in the same sentence???
-Ari
Dear Ari,
I need you to work on only two resolutions. Your mission - that is the mission statement you are already working on - the thing you want to change about your world. eg. eliminate poverty. The second one is on your spiritual growth.
Pattern sentences and root words.

Chapel Questions for 1/17 The Story of the Good Samaritan
1. Do you have a group of good friends? What would you do for this group of friends?
A: Anything they needed
2. Do you have a group of people that you are not friends with (maybe you don’t even like them very much)? What would you do for this group?
A: Anything they needed — This is the point of the parable
3. Can you tell me the context of story of the Good Samaritan? Why did Jesus tell the story?
A: A lawyer wanted to know how to obtain eternal life. He said love God and love your neighbor as your self in order to do that. Jesus said that was right, but the lawyer wanted to clarify who his neighbor was. In that time the rabbis had debated this idea of neighbor. Jesus simply said it is the person in your life who has a need.
