In Sunday School today, one of the class members talked about what his mother told him when he was growing up.  She always told him, ‘The sky is blue above everyone.”  The man grew up in Iran, as a Muslim.  As he was growing up he said that even though his mother was a “hardcore Muslim” she said it was up to him to choose his own religion.  Apparently he eventually chose Christianity.  He calls the USA his home now - he’s been here for over thirty years.  He talked of how the Iran shown on TV is not the same Iran that he still occasionally visits.  He talked of Muslim, Jews, and Christians living together in harmony.  In Iran?  Yes, he said, in Iran.

I don’t know about Iran and whether or not Christians, Jews and Muslims can live together peaceably there.  I DO know that the sky IS indeed blue for everyone the world over.

    What a beautiful thought. The sky IS blue everywhere. I imagine the Iran he remembers was VASTLY different from the one today. How sad for him. America is not like it was when we were children but not in the way Iran is different.

    Yes, Jane has said what I am thinking. He remembers a vastly different Iran than today. Christians and Jews are being persecuted and killed in Iran now.
