Funny thing at the church on Monday: one of the wax candles near the prayer corner lit up and then blew itself out a few minutes later. In truth, Natalie was inspecting the candle when it blew out; but I find it unlikely that she blew it out as the extinguishing behavior did not seem to match my memory of how a candle is blown out. Of course, it happened quickly and my eyes can be deceived. But the fact remains: the candle, which was previously unlit in the dark sanctuary, suddenly became lit. We asked for understanding of the “lighting of the candle”, but didn’t receive any.
