lucky numbers
I attended a Christian funeral last month and the preacher preached in fluent and melodious Teochew dialect of how Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead when I was distracted by a senior citizen in sunglasses and black shorts who knelt and prayed just five feet behind me. He said, “God, give me a good number….” He threw pieces of paper on the floor and picked one up and repeated the process until he had four numbers…..5, 1, 4….can’t recall the last number. I was surprised, and took a picture quickly with my mobile. I later found out he is a retired architect.
