Balloon Swords and Human Bread

http://bangkokdaytours.com/QuirkyThailand/Human-Bread.html

One of my favorite stories about Pope John Paul II tells a truth about his humor filled groundedness. While celebrating Mass, one of the priests that was distributing communion with him dropped a host (symbolic of the body of Christ) onto the floor, and Pope John Paul saw that the Priest was visibly upset for doing so, and the Pope walked over to the priest and calmly told the priest that it was only bread, not to worry so much...John Paul probably said this with a smile in a Polish accent.

And on the same note, mostly for fun...the link above is for a baker/artist making bread that is shaped to REALLY look like human body parts...AND it is still edible bread...and so to with balloons...they are just balloons, not the objects they represent. I attached the William Penn story to them to illustrate our Quaker history. And balloon swords are easy for kids to make...good story here...one of the members making balloon shapes, turned the sword he made into a plowshare...Quakers and balloons in rightful action. You got to chuckle at that one. After wards, more for the reason not to create trash, I transformed the swords left behind and the other shapes into flowers and gave them away to the remaining women.
