Why don't Lutherans cross themselves?

[Zecryphon]

That's a tad crude, don't you think?

I laughed the first time I heard it in Nuns on the Run. Crude yes, but it does make it easy to remember which way to go when crossing yourself.

One of my Catholic friends calls herself (and now I do too!) a "Cat Licker" because that's what her daughter said while trying to pronounce "Catholic".

We also teach our kids to bow at the altar when acolyting. I tell them the story of a guy in my brother's confirmation class who was so nervous his first time that he went up, turned around and bowed to the congregation, turned back around and lit the candles...turned around and bowed to the congregation and then went to sit in the "special" pew for Elders and Acolytes.

They get a real kick out of it and it helps them remember that it's okay to be nervous...God understands. *G*
