Church Lady, I Got Mine
How charming they were in their church lady suits and their church lady hats with their brassy church lady earrings! They opened up their little book of scripture, and showed me a painting of paradise as imagined by the United Church of Canada (guessing). It looks like BC, which is, um, where I already live. I am so undeserving. I think church-lady-with-ribbon-and-horn-rimmed-glasses picked up on this, because she made a special point of telling me that paradise would be for everyone, not just for us forest people. (Even the poor starving children in Africa!) I thought of pointing out that good Christian Laplanders might not want to live in a rainforest. But since they were the sweetest church ladies ever, and didn't once mention my eventual destination, I wished them well and sent them next door.
