Kids

[Vaska Tumir]

I left it vague -- sly me -- 'cause I can't remember the wording.  Was thinking about that bit about whoever does the slightest harm to any of the little ones, etc.  [See what I mean, my memory's all shot ;)].  But yes, there are also those other bits Paul mentions here.

  Are you referring to Jesus saying a childlike attitude is helpful in
  entering into the Kingdom of Heaven? Each of the synoptic gospels has a
  passage to this effect. All three are very similar to each other and in
  the King James Version the words "suffer little children come unto me" are
  used. Suffer of course doesn't mean suffer as such (Augustine style) but
  "allow." Nevertheless it seems to me the idea of suffering may be intended
  when the phrase appears on children's tombstones.
