Kenny was looking at the picture in our living room of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem and he asked me why you are supposed to remove your shoes before going inside "that temple with the golden dome." So, I took the opportunity to read the beginning verses of Exodus 3, Moses and the burning bush. And that bit about removing the sandals because the place was holy. So I said that the mosque in Jerusalem is holy because the people meet God there, and churches are holy and synagogues are holy and then I told him that he's holy because he met God at his baptism. He got a kick out of that, out of the idea of meeting God and of being holy. Ok, I laid it on a little thick.
